Cahir - I am willing to bet that your problem is preferencial suppliers.

a) in the CSH text for the Suppliers|Orders screen it says:

Generate Orders - run the Generate Order process to generate the orders - this will bring up a confirmation window to allow you to specify the supplier and stock location. See here for help if you are not generating the orders you expect.

b) the above 'here' link goes to http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/csh/1.7/product/tabs#supplier which says:

Generating Orders
Note that the system's 'Generate Orders' function will only generate orders for a product that has low stock if:

• the product has a supplier specified and the supplier's Preferred box is checked
• the Package Size set for the preferred supplier is greater than zero
• the Ideal and Critical quantities must be greater than zero

Now the logic used by both the 'Generate Orders' function and the Stock Re-order report is the same.

Hence I am willing to bet that your problem was exactly the same as mine when I tried to duplicate your problem - blank output because none of the products had a preferred supplier set. [This is intentional in my case because we don't want ordering to occur until we specifically turn it on for specific products by setting the supplier as preferred. ie we are going to bring the system live with stock control running but we don't want to initially change how the was stuff is ordered - ie totally manually.]

If/when I get around to tarting up the stock reorder report I will put in a notice saying the above that gets printed if nothing gets printed.
