Stock Procurement
'Just in Time' Stock Control keeps YOU in control!
To assist sites in maintaining ‘Just In Time’ stock control, Jim2® includes the Stock Procurement functionality. This allows you to manage your stock levels based on history, usage and fixed minimum quantity levels. Stock Procurement works by first calculating which stock needs reordering, then allows you to automatically create the purchase orders and stock transfers needed to meet those requirements. Jim2® Stock Procurement will take into account excess stock levels available in other locations that could be ‘transferred’ rather than purchased.
Not only that, Jim2
® is so intelligent, if you want to hold stock for, say, 28 days you will be able to see at a
glance how much stock you have remaining and how long that will last.
You can also see when you have more stock than you want to hold for that period so that
you can arrange to sell it off.

Calculations
Stock Procurement calculates how many of which products need ordering, based on various factors including:
Minimum quantity on hand by location
The number of days worth of stock required
Re-order quantity
- Days Supply
Stock availability in other locations (able to be transferred, rather than ordered)
Average sold per day for previous ‘x’ days, or during the same period last year
X% increase on previous stock level
Vendor lead time
Jim2® Stock Procurement will identify the stock that requires reorder or transfer based on your calculation choices, and presents a
‘recommendation’ ORDER/TXFR QTY based on:
Quantity on hand
Quantity allocated on Jobs
Quantity already on purchase order (on status of ordered)
Quantity available at other (bulk) locations that could be transferred inwards
