To create a Reorder scenario for permanent products, the user should log in to the Nextail Application and, under the Reorder menu option, choose the first item, “Create new Reorder”.
This will open the Reorder form where the user needs to provide information, some required and some optional so that the engine can calculate an accurate reorder forecast.
