Determining order volume / what to backorder
Hi,
I am evaluating zoho inventory... and have created some items and sales orders.
For my type of items I can not not blindly purchase everything that has been ordered: I need to aggregate my incoming sales orders first, determine which items I will have my vendors manufacture and then issue a purchase order. (Given I need to invest in raw materials I will not always manufacture everything that was ordered.)
I know the Inventory Details report can give me a count of ordered items ("
Quantity Committed") but given it's a count only it is quite brief. (It will only add them for Sales Order which have status Confirmed, which in my case is not really true: I regard it as draft until my manufacturer got the order to make the items..)
Is there a way to get an overview of items ordered including sales order and vendor?
The two reports I am looking for would look like:
report 1:
itemsku A 12
sales order2 5
sales order3 5
itemsku B 2
sales order 5 1
sales order6 1
report 2:
itemsku A 12
customer7 2
customer8 10
itemsku B 2
customer7 1
customer9 1
Thanks!
