Field |
Description |
Warehouse |
The code of the warehouse where you are running the Replenish Primary Locations program, or where the system has initiated Let Down Replenishment as a result of pick slip generation. Warehouse codes are defined in and validated against the Warehouse file. Numeric, 3 positions; required. |
Zones |
The warehouse zones to include in the replenishment. If you leave these fields blank, all zones will be included. Note: Only primary locations in the specified zones will be evaluated for replenishment. Alphanumeric, 1 position; optional. |
Start Aisle |
The number of the first aisle in the zone range you are replenishing. You cannot select a range of aisles unless you also select one or more zones; also, if you enter a beginning aisle, you must also select an ending aisle. Numeric, 2 positions; optional |
End Aisle |
The number of the last aisle in the zone range you are replenishing. Numeric, 2 positions; optional. |
Bypass Minimum |
Defines how the system determines when an item location requires replenishment, and, if a pieces per case is defined for the item, whether the system rounds the calculated replenishment quantity up or down to the nearest case. Valid values: • N (default)= An item location requires replenishment when the calculated on-hand quantity falls below the minimum quantity defined for the item location. If a pieces per case is defined for the item, the system rounds the calculated replenishment quantity up to the nearest case, even if rounding up causes the new on hand quantity to be greater than the maximum quantity defined for the item location. If the replenishment quantity is less than a case quantity, the system replenishes the item location, rounding up to the case quantity. Example: If the replenishment quantity is 20 and the pieces per case for the item is 12, the system rounds the replenishment quantity to 24 (2 cases of 12). If the replenishment quantity is 10 (less than the pieces per case), the system replenishes the item location with 1 case (12 units). |
|
• Y = An item location requires replenishment when the calculated on-hand quantity is less than the maximum quantity, and if a pieces per case is defined for the item, the calculated replenishment quantity is greater than one case. If the calculated replenishment quantity is less than a case quantity, the system does not replenish the item location. If a pieces per case is defined for the item, the system rounds the calculated replenishment quantity down to the nearest case so that the new on hand quantity is not greater than the maximum quantity defined for the item location. Example: If the replenishment quantity is 20 and the pieces per case for the item is 12, the system rounds the replenishment quantity to 12 (1 case of 12). If the replenishment quantity is 10 (less than the pieces per case), the system does not replenish the item location. See Determining the Locations to Replenish for more information and examples. Alphanumeric, 1 position; required. |
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Enter the code of the warehouse for which you want to replenish primary locations.
2. Optionally, enter the codes of the zone(s) to include in the replenishment. Only the primary locations in the zones entered will be evaluated for replenishment.
3. Optionally, enter the starting and ending aisles to include in the replenishment. Only the primary locations located in the specified zones and aisles will be evaluated for replenishment.
4. Press Enter to generate the request. A message such as the following displays:
Job 494947/EKAPLAN/RPLN_STK submitted to job queue QBATCH in library QGPL.
The RPLN_STK job generates the replenishment control request and produces the Replenishment Detail by 'From' Location Report and the Replenishment Transfer Labels. You will remain at this screen; however, the fields will be cleared.
Purpose: If a print program name is defined in the Replenishment Label Program Name (F20) system control value, the system produces replenishment transfer labels when you generate a Replenishment Control.
You can use these labels to help you manage the replenishment transfer process.
Sample replenishment transfer label:
2007ST3 BLUE WMNS SML ORGANIC COTTON TEE Loc: MAIN1 2007ST3 BLUE WMNS MED ORGANIC COTTON TEE Loc: MAIN1 |
Contents:
• Item code
• SKU code
• Item description
• 'To' location (destination) code
Items flagged for priority replenishment: Items flagged for priority replenishment are indicated with an asterisk (*).
An item is flagged for priority replenishment if:
• you keep the item in more than one location, including both pickable and nonpickable locations, and
• the total quantity on printed pick slips is larger than the quantity currently available in the item's primary, pickable location.
In the above situation, you would need to replenish the item's primary location right away so that you will be able to fulfill all the pick slips that are currently printed.
Replenishment requests initiated by the system as the result of Let Down Replenishment during pick slip generation are always flagged for priority replenishment, since the request is generated when there is not enough inventory in the primary location to fulfill all pick slips.
Note: Typically, you would have priority replenishment items for a replenishment request you generate at the Work with Replenish Control screen only if the Check Location Quantities During Pick Generation (C54) system control value is set to N; however, if the replenishment request is initiated by the system as Let Down Replenishment during pick slip generation, the Check Location Quantities During Pick Generation (C54) system control value must be set to Y.
Confirming, Processing or Deleting Replenishment Requests
Purpose: After you have created a replenishment control request at the Work with Replenish Control Screen, the locations and item quantities recommended for replenishment must be confirmed before the inventory transfers can be processed.
You can confirm all of the replenishments in the replenishment control request at the same time (see below) or you can confirm individual replenishment records using:
• Replenishment Confirmation By To Location Screen
• Replenishment Confirmation by Item Screen
• Replenishment Confirmation by From Location Screen
If you do not wish to confirm any of the entries, you can delete the replenishment control request; see Deleting a Replenishment Control Request.
If the replenishment control request has been generated by a submitted job (for example, PICK_GEN), the locations and item quantities will be automatically confirmed by the system. You can unconfirm by item, or change the quantities to be confirmed at the Replenishment Confirmation screen.
Once the recommended replenishments have been confirmed, the replenishment control request must be processed to execute the inventory transfer transactions. Inventory in the transfer 'From' location will be reduced, inventory in the transfer 'To' location will be increased, and the inventory transfer transactions will be added to the Inventory Transaction History file.
Note: Confirming the replenishment control request and processing the request are two separate steps in the Replenish Primary Locations process.
To confirm a replenishment request: Enter 8 next to a replenishment request to confirm all replenishments in a replenishment request. All items in the request are changed to a confirmed status.
If most of the replenishments are going to be confirmed, use this option to confirm all entries in the replenishment control request. Then use Replenishment Confirmation By To Location Screen, Replenishment Confirmation by Item Screen, or Replenishment Confirmation by From Location Screen to unconfirm any replenishments that you will not be transferring.
Replenishment Confirmation By To Location Screen
Purpose: This screen displays the system-recommended locations to replenish in 'To Location' sequence. At this screen you can change the quantity of each item/SKU to be moved, confirm or unconfirm item/SKU transfers, and process confirmed item/SKU transfers.
How to display this screen: Enter 5 next to a request at the Work with Replenish Control Screen.
