Pickable Setting for Analyzing Replenishment Locations (G63)

Purpose: Use this screen to define whether to consider pickable, nonpickable, or either type of location in your main warehouse when determining whether you can fulfill a warehouse replenishment request.

Code field: Enter the code that indicates which types of locations to consider when determining whether to allocate stock toward fulfillment of a warehouse replenishment request.

Valid values are:

• PICKABLE or blank = Consider only pickable locations

• NONPCKABLE = Consider only nonpickable locations

• BOTH = Consider both pickable and nonpickable locations

Pickable flag: The system checks a location's Pickable flag in determining whether to allocate stock toward a replenishment request. This flag also controls whether you can pick stock from the location for pick slips.

Example: You are creating a replenishment request for warehouse 25 (the 'To' warehouse) from warehouse 10 (the 'From' warehouse). The item that is required is AB100. This item is stored in location A010101 (pickable) and BULK (nonpickable) in warehouse 10. If this system control value is set to:

• PICKABLE or blank: only location A010101 is eligible to allocate stock for the replenishment request

• NONPCKABLE: only location BULK is eligible to allocate stock for the replenishment request

• BOTH: both A010101 and BULK are eligible to allocate stock for the replenishment request

About warehouse replenishment: You can use the Replenish Warehouses menu option to replenish items to one or more secondary warehouses or outlets. Typically, you replenish from your main warehouse, although you can process replenishments from any warehouse in your company.

There are two types of warehouse replenishment:

• Standard process, in which the system evaluates the replenishment requirement of the 'To' warehouse and allocates stock in the 'From' warehouse based on this inventory information. This process assumes that you maintain inventory information in CWSerenade for each warehouse requiring replenishment.

• Outlet transfer process, in which the system allocates stock for a replenishment request based on purchase order information in a file you can upload or populate outside of CWSerenade. This process assumes that each 'To' warehouse you are replenishing represents a retail outlet, and that you do not maintain current inventory information for these outlets.

This system control value is used to control both types of warehouse replenishment.

Other system control values: This system control value works in combination with these values in determining whether and where to allocate stock for replenishment requests:

• Type of Location to Search First in Warehouse Replenishment (G64)

• Type of Location to Search Second in Warehouse Replenishment (G65)

• Type of Location to Search Third in Warehouse Replenishment (G66)
