Stats enables you to see:

• The number of products supplied to each location, the total inventory value and the value that is in safety or buffer stock
• Stats on how reliable the supplier is to each location
• The value of orders that we have placed previously, that are currently overdue/late, that are in the pipeline, and that are recommended into the future

Column headers in the table are clickable, enabling you to sort the information by any column.

Historical displays the value of purchase orders received by month, for the last two years.

Clicking the Table button, displays a table of the historical POs in the database.

Overdue displays the value of purchase orders, by month, that have missed their expected arrival date and are late.

Late deliveries are a big issue for your business because they lead to potential stock-outs, actual stock-outs, lost sales and unhappy customers.

Clicking the Table button, displays the list of open purchase orders where the expected receipt date is in the past.

The open tab’s chart view displays the value of open purchase orders, by month, that have already been placed with the supplier but not yet received.

This view can be very useful in identifying where incorrect expected arrival dates have been keyed on purchase orders, showing them arriving way later than you expect.

The Future tab displays the value of future purchase orders to be placed, by month, based on order recommendations.

The value of projected purchase orders gives you visibility of the amount of money that you are likely to spend with this supplier over the next 12 months.

Clicking the Table button, displays a summary of the projected recommended purchase orders for the next 12 months.

Selecting the Table button displays the options available for the selected tab.

In this example of the Historical tab, a list of available locations is displayed. The chart view for an individual location or the total can be selected by selecting either a location name or the location total.

Alternatively, a report can be generated by selecting the value in the Total column.

The example illustrated by the light blue box around the total value shows how to download historical purchase orders for the Total of all the locations listed.

Selecting All orders results in a report containing:

• Products needing to be ordered, the location they should be delivered too, and the order details: order date, expected arrival date, quantity to be ordered

Selecting Summary by month results in a report containing:

• A view by month of the order quantities recommended to be ordered by product to the selected location.

Note: Downloading the detail generates a file that contains all the recommended order details.

Scrolling to the bottom of the detail page, shows page numbers that you can use to page through the detail.

Clicking the CSV download button will enable you to save the detail as a CSV file on your computer.
