Raise the replacement order from the claim

One button turns a shortage claim into a draft replacement PO, stamped so job costing knows it is a re-send and not a second purchase.

What it is

The claim's lines are copied into a new draft order against the same supplier and project, at the same unit prices, each line noting what it replaces. The new order is stamped reorder_of and claim_id, and the claim records the reorder it produced.

Also called: reorder · send the rest · replacement PO · re-send missing material

How it works
  1. 1Only lines with a positive claimed quantity are copied
  2. 2Each new line notes 'Replaces N from PO-1042'
  3. 3The order note says whether it replaces a short delivery or damage on arrival
  4. 4It is created as a draft so a human sends it
  5. 5The claim card then shows 'Replacement raised'
Why we built it

From the function comment: 'Stamped with reorder_of so job costing can tell a re-send from a second purchase — without it, every shortage would inflate what a job appears to have cost in materials.' The UI repeats the reassurance on success: 'Replacement PO-1043 raised as a draft — it won't double-count against the job.'

The problem
  • A replacement counted as a second purchase inflates job cost
  • Retyping the missing lines by hand
