Distribution planning can begin when stock orders are received from the host system or manually entered (not recommended) into RWMS. Some stock orders received from the host are processed automatically. Manually-entered orders and orders marked as Manual or PO by the host system must be processed manually by creating a wave.
|
Note: PO type stock orders are not supported by Oracle Retail Merchandising System (RMS). |
Stock orders are replenishment requests by stores. These stock orders are referred to as distros. For a distribution center that supplies merchandise directly to the consumer, a stock order represents a customer order.
Stock orders are categorized as pre-allocations, post allocations, and post allocations by PO depending on how the orders are filled.
Pre-allocation (also referred to as Predist): The creation of stock orders prior to merchandise receipt. When received the stock order is processed against the received merchandise generating crossdock and flowthrough tasks
Predist enters RWMS in one of two ways:
Stock order and stock allocation records are received from the host
Stock Orders are entered into RWMS directly if the SCP parameter allow_predist_create is set to Y. All appointment types take advantage of the Predist stock orders to generate crossdock and flowthrough shipments.
|
Note: Predist is a distinct form of distributing containers and is different from the full distribution as completed through the other Waving steps and processes. Thus, different logic is used for Predist versus full distribution.The regular distribution logic is part of the distribution engine whereas the pre-distribution logic is handled at the time of receiving. |
Post allocation: Distribution of merchandise after it is received and put away in storage locations. RWMS distributes merchandise by identifying all containers eligible for picking.
Post allocation by purchase order: RWMS examines all containers in storage and staging locations and retrieves eligible inventory based on the user-entered purchase order that is associated with a stock order.
When manual and PO type stock orders are selected for distribution, they are assigned to available waves. Each wave may use one of the following distribution methods:
Efficiency: The picker is sent to a sequence of locations that fulfills the demand with the least number of picks.
Pick to clean: The picker is sent to the most locations that can be picked clean in order to meet the demand. This frees up the most locations, which can then be used to store other inbound merchandise.
Business Process
If you manually select stock orders, you must assign it to an available wave. If all available wave numbers are already assigned to a wave you can create new wave number using the Wave Editor. Manual and PO type stock orders that are received from the host must also be assigned to waves. You can select such stock orders using predefined queries or sets of queries.
A wave is a group of stock orders that can be released together for picking and shipment. The distribution process varies by the type of wave used to distribute merchandise. The type of wave may be:
Automatic: All open, automatic type orders that are eligible for distribution are assigned to the next available wave of the type Automatic.
Manual: DC personnel select manual type orders and assign them to available waves of the type Manual.
PO: DC personnel select PO type orders and assign them to available waves of the type PO.
Predist: Inbound appointments access Predist order types to generate crossdock and flowthrough shipments.
Wave: DC personnel assign specific destinations to daily pick waves of the type Wave.
Repair: When there is a need for repair to the merchandise at the DC, DC personnel select Repair as the stock order type which is picked and sent to third party vendors or finishers. The Repair type stock order can be initiated in RMS or RWMS.
There are several windows that allow you to monitor the progress of orders, pick waves, and pack waves. You can view the percentages of an order that are at the various stages of processing. You can view the planned and picked quantities for bulk, case, and unit operations by wave and by destination. Pick directives can be viewed and purged from RWMS.
