Printing the Fill Rate Reports (PFRR)

Purpose: Use the fill rate, shipment summary, and backorder summary reports to quickly evaluate your stock status for fulfilling orders. These reports help you identify how much you have to handle each order before the order is completely shipped.

What these reports can help you determine is if you are able to ship an order completely immediately or if there are typically lines backordered on the majority of your orders. If so, you have to make more than one shipment on the order -- which costs you money and customer satisfaction.

The information on these reports might indicate that you have a problem with your purchasing department or your vendors, because you don't have enough stock on-hand to fulfill your orders.
