Setting up the Item Card

To use the requisition worksheet you must first setup the item cards:

2. Set the Reordering Policy field to Maximum Qty from the available options; this will enable the Reorder Point field.
3. The Reorder Point is the quantity at which the Item must be reordered. This is the data that the Garage Hive system will use to recommend an order. Add the quantity.

4. You do not need to enter your Maximum Inventory.
