21.2 About Replenishment

You use replenishment to refill fixed picking locations with items. You obtain these items from a replenishment location that you have set up to refill picking locations. You can tie specific replenishment zones to specific picking locations or zones.

You can create a replenishment request in response to picking that depletes the items in a location. You use replenishment requests to generate suggestions for locations from which to replenish items. The system tracks the items in each location. You can find locations containing the items you need to replenish and then create suggestions to replenish from those locations.

You can use the locations that the system suggests for you or use different locations. You then confirm your chosen locations to move the items from the replenishment location to the picking location, and to update the system's inventory records.

The replenishment process includes:

  • Working with replenishment requests
