Par Level Ordering
The System is designed to help those in the hospitality industry manage their purchasing, stock control and time.
Par level ordering is used to ensure that a certain stock level is maintained. When used the system will suggest the quantity that is to be ordered based on the difference between the par set up against that product and the calculated stock on hand.
This document explains how to set up par level ordering.
