Questions regarding the Purchases thirty bees module.

[the.rampage.rado]

1. Does it keep track of pack sales also? If I sell 10x of certain product but the product pack has no set supplier as it relies on products with set suppliers does it calculate those sales? If it does not track them what happens if the products in the pack come from different suppliers?

2. Could we have in future supplier MOQ and Minimal stock levels settings? Lets say we have a discount for full box of certain item and we wish to order only per said quantity but by piece for other items from that supplier. Minimal stock levels should be set by the merchant (per product/reference) and if the quantity on hand drops lower than the said number, the difference should be suggested always even if the calculation does not offer it.

3. Can you describe this setting? Why the default was only Canceled? And should we keep it that way?

4. I assume that all settings for costs in the module Settings take into account the default currency and not the supplier default currencies?

5. When adding a supplier and then supplier references could we automatically pick the currency based on the selected supplier default currency? Currently the drop down shows the default shop currency and we have to fix this every time if both are different.

6. What do Safe stock and Reorder point mean?

Yes, since thirty bees 1.4 (I think) we track pack items sales as well. This info is taken into account. So, if you sell product A separately 1 times, and as part of pack 9 times, purchases module will see 10 sales of this product.

Sure, let's add this to backlog.

For MOQ -- we already have something similar to this, but little bit more generic -- custom notes for products. So you will be able to notes for product A and Supplier S, for example "Always order whole box"

This is settings for Export section. It's a remnant from first version of the module, we will probably remove the export functionality completely. Export was used before we had purchase orders to gather data for it.

Yes, shop default currency

Module already do this. If it doesn't work for you, please check javascript console -- maybe there is some error that blocks this js functionality.

6. What do Safe stock and Reorder point mean?

Safety stock represents minimum quantity you should have on stock to be able to achieve expected service rate. It takes into account only demand and service rate settings.

Reorder point represents quantity on stock when you should reorder the product. This will never be less than safety stock, but it can be higher. It takes into account order placement costs, and stock ownership costs. This is what we use to suggest products to order.

Could we have global price and currency option above the current ones that when populated fills all fields under it? It would be useful if we have lots combinations and the price is the same.

these are fields from core, not module. Please file enhancement request issue in github.
