Purchase Requirements Report
	
	The Purchase Requirements Report displays every 
	 item from Items 
	 for which an order should be placed to prevent the on hand quantity 
	 from going below safety stock.
	This report lists two things for each item: requirements 
	 and replenishments.
	
		- Requirements: may be customer orders or Allocated To Prod. 
		 If the Plan 
		 Materials at Operation Start field is cleared, this form displays 
		 job material requirements based on the job's start date. If the 
		 Plan Materials at Operation Start field is selected, the operation's 
		 start date is used as the requirements date.
- Replenishments: may be purchase orders or work in process (the 
		 item being manufactured). The report can be selected to show requirements, 
		 replenishments, neither, or both.
There are different fields on the report depending 
	 upon whether a CO, a job, a WIP, or a PO is being displayed.
	The primary and secondary vendors also display.
	An item displays on the report if the sum of its quantities on hand, 
	 on order, and in process (On Hand, On Order, and Qty WIP fields) minus 
	 its quantities allocated to both orders and jobs (Alloc Job and Alloc 
	 Ord) is less than its safety stock quantity.
	
		NOTES:
		
			- The quantities on the report display in the unit of measure 
			 used on the PO line/release.
- The report does not consider Planned POs or Firm Jobs.
- This report is not intended to match MRP or APS results, 
			 the Time Phased Inventory results, or any other form or report. 
			 It is a simple report designed to be used if you are not using 
			 MRP or APS.
