Replenishing WIP Locations

As you're completing assemblies at either an operation or to stock, components using the replenish method are consumed from the WIP location associated with the operation sequence that you're completing. Once the quantity on hand for the component falls below the recommended stocking level, the WIP location must be replenished. The Replenishment Notification workflow can be used to notify the stockroom that a set quantity should be moved to the WIP location. If you are using PeopleSoft Flow Production, you can also use Kanban cards, pull tickets, and pull lists to communicate the replenishment request. WIP locations can be replenished directly from an inventory location, feeder line, or supplier using Kanban cards or online replenishment requests

The worklist entry includes the business unit, component ID, destination location, and the source location. The system recommends an issue quantity based on the item's issue multiple. When you select the worklist entry, the system displays to the Kanban Transfers page.

Field or Control

Description

Transfer Qty (transfer quantity)

The total quantity required at the WIP location.

Stocking UOM

You can change the stocking UOM by changing the UOM that appears next to the transfer quantity field. If the business unit parameter allows negative inventory balances, you can drive the on-hand quantity of the source location negative.

Original Location

The location from which you picked the material. The system supplies a default original location based on the information defined on the Item/Replenish Location page or the WIP Replenishment page in business unit items. You can override the suggested location if you picked the material from a different location.

Area

Enter the appropriate area from which you're transferring material.

Capacity Checking and Replenishing WIP Locations

If the item is designated as an isolate item on the Inventory-Shipping/Handling page in the Define Business Unit Item component, you can replenish it to only empty WIP locations or to locations containing stock with the same item ID. The system prevents you from moving an isolate item to a WIP location with other items.

If you designate a WIP location as storing only one item on the Volume/Weight Capacity page, the system replenishes only material with that item ID to the location. If you do not specify an item ID for a single-item WIP location, the first replenishment transaction to the empty WIP location defines the only item ID that the location can contain until the item quantity has been fully depleted.
