Replenishing Inventories (End User)

The read-only records in the Generate Orders view come from data in the Inventory screen. In this view, you can automatically generate orders to restock inventory products through an internal transfer between inventory locations or through a purchase from an outside vendor. For replenishment, the product must have a defined inventory level. For replenishment from a vendor, you must also define the authorized vendor. For more information about defining an authorized vendor, see Associating Vendors with Inventory Locations (End User).

The replenishment process uses a source inventory location for replenishment to a selected location and a target location for replenishment from the selected location. The Source Locations list includes replenishment sources for the related target locations. The Target Locations list includes target locations to replenish from a related source location. You define specific relationships between locations in the Relationships view of the Inventory screen. Click the Order button to create internal orders to replenish the target locations.
