Timely Tip:  Using the Price Tiers - located at Sales > Pricing 
tt
Think there are only 6 tiers? Not quite!
 
There is no practical limit to the number of  tiers that can be created. Setup  multiple pricing rules with different date ranges.
 
Each pricing rule will have a continuation of the pricing tiers until sufficient tiers are defined. The date ranges can overlap as long as the starting date is different date.  For example: 01/01/2004 to 01/01/20 and 01/02/04 to 01/01/20.

How to determine when to reorder inventory?

warehouse

Sometimes feeling like additional tools would help to order quantities from the Stock Reorder Report?

Well, you are in luck! How about a tool that is available to everyone to facilitate creating Purchase Orders!
 
If you have not made the time to review the Plan Module yet then you may be missing out. The Plan Module is a great tool for everyone, even if you are NOT a manufacturer.  
The Plan Module is based on the insufficient inventory to fill line items on a sales order along with the recommended reorder points on the items. Defining the  default suppliers on the items makes this process even easier. The Plan module will review your sales orders, reorder points, and automatically create a list of recommended Purchase Orders. With a click of the mouse, you decide if a Purchase Order or Quote should be created and it's mode...Pending or Accepted.  
 
So if you thought that the Plan module is just for manufactures, the answer is no... it is for everybody.
