Wow..., we just wheel the grocery cart up to the shelves and shovel.
Kind
of like supermarket sweep. Then new stuff magically reappears, or is
beamed
in.

Another option for MRO or consumable items is a two bin system. You can
establish a primary bin (drawer, cabinet, etc.) that you do your normal
issues from. Then calculate your reorder point (your normal demand over
lead time plus some safety stock) and place that in a secondary
location. When the primary location is empty and you need to issue from
the secondary one, you move the total quantity from the secondary
location into the primary and then that is your trigger to reorder. You
can keep track of the inventory inside Vantage but the physical
existence of the secondary bin gives you an insurance policy for when
transactions don't always take place.

Not sure which version of Vantage you're on (and I'm still new to
Vantage)
but there's a non-computer way that I have seen frequently. It's just a
simple reorder card/ticket/sticky-note. Calculate the quantity that
triggers
a reorder for that item and place the reorder card on that box/container
or
at the bottom of the bin. When the ticket comes up while consuming the
material, it is dropped into purchasing's inbox. It also helps to write
a
number on each container so that they are used in order (FIFO usually)
so
the reorder tag doesn't come up too early.
It works well and it doesn't kill your Vantage session. ;-)
