Reorders

Reorders are a transaction that Trakkit Live creates when there needs to be replenishment of a Trakkit machine. It is to create an entry that is attributed to each machine when goods arrive to go back in the machine it know which order to attribute those goods to. It also keeps track of backorders and will not let a machine be overfilled. Similar to a purchase order in a warehouse. We prefer not to use the term 'Purchase Order' so as not to create confusion between Trakkit orders and other orders generated in ERP's for the same transaction.
