Auto Replenish via PO when insufficient stock
In this release we've added the ability to automatically create a Purchase Order when there is insufficient stock to cover a sale in POS - making your ordering process easier and more efficient than ever!

When calculating the total stock accessible Retail Express will review how many products are:
- Available i.e. currently in the Outlet available to be sold
- On-Order i.e. stock already ordered from the Supplier and en-route
If there is not enough stock Retail Express will create an Incomplete Purchase Order for the total sale quantity (not just the difference) e.g. if 5 products are added to the sale and there is currently 1 Available and 3 On Order (a total of 4) a PO will be created for 5 products.
Access the new settings by editing any of your products and referring to the new "Replenishment" section.
