To help speed up the ordering process, you can assign par levels to each of your items.

Par levels represent the target amount of stock you wish to have on hand. You can set this as individual units, or cases (if you have indicated a case size for the item).

Setting your par levels allows you to use the “Pre-fill” options when generating your orders. It will look at your current stock, and add to the order whatever you need to reach the par level.

If you have all of your par levels set, this allows you to generate your orders in seconds.

Note: Over time, the system will calculate a WISK Par, which is based on your consumption per item. Learn more:

It will convert it to the appropriate amount of cases based on what was entered for full units. You can switch it back to units by clicking the button again.
