Using the Replenishment Method
To define storage locations, use the Storage Locations (STOR_LOCATIONS) component. To define storage area locations, use the Storage Areas (STORAGE_AREAS) component.
To define replenishment locations, use the Production Replenish Locations component (REPL_LOCATIONS). Use the REPL_LOCATIONS_CI component interface to load data into the tables for this component.
Use the replenishment method to stock components in the WIP locations at the work center where you use the component. These components are typically stocked to a defined on-hand quantity that you establish. During completions, the components are consumed from the WIP location. When the quantity on hand for an item falls below its replenishment quantity in that location, a workflow notification is sent to the stockroom, indicating the location must be replenished.
If you use PeopleSoft Flow Production, you can also use Kanban cards, pull tickets, and pull lists to communicate the replenishment request. Before you move components into replenishment locations, specify the replenishment point for each component that you manage by using the replenishment method. You must also specify the issue multiple that is used to replenish the WIP location. Define both of these parameters using the Define Business Unit items pages. If you use PeopleSoft Flow Production, you can also replenish the WIP locations directly from an inventory location, feeder line, or supplier using Kanban cards or online replenishment requests.

Define production replenishment locations. This is required if you use PeopleSoft Flow Production. If you use PeopleSoft Manufacturing without PeopleSoft Flow Production, you can set up production replenishment defaults if you use the replenishment component-issue method. |

If you have PeopleSoft Flow Production installed, define how WIP locations are replenished. If you use PeopleSoft Manufacturing without Flow Production, set up defaults if you use the replenishment component-issue method. |
Use the Prdn Replenish Locations page (SF_REPL_INV) to define production replenishment locations.
This is required if you use PeopleSoft Flow Production. If you use PeopleSoft Manufacturing without PeopleSoft Flow Production, you can set up production replenishment defaults if you use the replenishment component-issue method.

WIP locations |
Select the storage location for the item. The storage levels that appear depend on the storage structure established on the Inventory Options page. |
Iss Mult (issue multiple) and Repl Point (replenishment point) |
Define values for these fields. When the quantity on hand in the WIP location drops below the specified replenishment point, the system issues a workflow replenishment request indicating that additional material needs to be supplied, and it uses the issue multiple that you specify on this page. If you use PeopleSoft Flow Production, the system uses the issue multiple for the Kanban quantity. Note: If you haven't installed PeopleSoft Flow Production, the system uses the replenishment point for only those items that have a replenishment mode of Backflush-Controlled. |
WIP Min Qty (WIP minimum quantity) |
Enter a value to indicate the minimum amount of the item that you want stored at the WIP location and that is not associated with a specific order. |
WIP RPL Source (WIP replenishment source) |
Select to specify where to send the PeopleSoft Flow Production replenishment request and which source supplies the WIP location. Options are:
|
Repl Max Qty (replenishment maximum quantity), WIP RPL Source (WIP replenishment source), WIP RPL Mode (WIP replenishment mode), WIP RPL Type (WIP replenishment type), and WIP RPL Method (WIP replenishment method) |
If you do not use PeopleSoft Flow Production, these fields are unavailable. In that case, the system uses the default replenishment mode of Backflush Controlled and a replenishment method of Workflow. |
Repl Max Qty (replenishment maximum quantity) |
If you are using PeopleSoft Flow Production, this field is set to the maximum amount of the item that you want stored at any WIP location using the item. This quantity includes the item's on-hand quantity and any open requests already made. The system issues a warning if you perform a replenishment transaction that exceeds the replenishment maximum quantity. Note: This field is available for only those items using the Manual replenishment mode. |
Use the Prdn Replenish Detail page (SF_REPL_INV_DTL) to if you have PeopleSoft Flow Production installed, define how WIP locations are replenished.
If you use PeopleSoft Manufacturing without Flow Production, set up defaults if you use the replenishment component-issue method.
