RTA Makes it easy to track inventory levels by alerting you that quantities are low!
As parts are posted to work orders, fuel transactions, transferred to other facilities, etc., inventory levels are reduced and eventually inventory will need to be replenished. The list of needed parts should be reviewed and then purchase orders can be generated for the parts approved for reorder.
The Requests area in RTA Web contains the recommended parts for order. The system takes into account several factors before placing items here including your total on hand, on order numbers, and backorder quantities. The reorder method being used on your account also factors into how often and when items will appear in this list.
Refer to Setting up Part Records for Reorders for more information regarding the various reorder methods and the system switch that controls the selections.

The list can be searched, sorted, and exported based on need.

The Requests Master List also saves time by allowing users to click the Inventory button to switch the view from the auto requested parts for order to view the entire parts inventory.

Creating Purchase Orders from Requests
Parts listed in requests can be converted to a PO automatically by following the below process:
Click on the part or parts to be purchased (HINT: Selecting parts with the same primary vendor will ensure that all parts associated with that primary vendor will go to the same PO for ease)
Click the Create PO button in the upper right corner
The items will be moved from requests to a Purchase order and accessible in the PO’s section
Refer to Purchase Orders TOC for information on PO’s in RTA Web.
Removing Requests Items
Items remain in Requests until they are moved to a PO.
Editing Request Items
Items in Requests cannot be edited other than sending to a PO. Edits to quantities and such can be done at the PO level.
