Replenishment in Warehousing (4A2)

Replenishment in Warehousing (4A2)

With this process, you can plan and automate the creation of replenishment warehouse tasks to ensure the right inventory levels for your products in the areas where picking is done. This scope item supports planned and automatic replenishment of fixed storage bins. The planned replenishment can be started either interactively or as a regular application background job. In contrast, with automatic replenishment, the system starts replenishment when a warehouse task is confirmed. The system creates replenishment warehouse tasks if the current stock is below the defined threshold for the product’s fixed bin. The replenishment quantity is calculated as the difference between the maximum and the current bin quantity. At the end of the process, the warehouse operative confirms the warehouse tasks and makes sure that the stock is moved from the reserve to the picking area.
