Prerequisites
Before you complete the tasks in this section, ensure you correctly set up information such as items, locations, warehouse process groups, license plate information, and order groups before you set up replenishment to random locations. This is critical to the accuracy and predictability of the results you obtain when running the Replenishment to Random Locations program. This information help you review and verify the setup of the warehouse, and troubleshoot problems if the results vary from the results you expect.
Verify that the items that pertain to the putaway, picking, and replenishment processes are set up in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system. Review item information, such as the branch/plant to which the item is assigned, specific item locations within the branch/plant, the item unit of measure and associated conversions, and item quantities.
Verify that the locations that pertain to the putaway, picking, and replenishment processes are set up in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system. Review location information such as primary and secondary locations, and whether location control has been activated.
Verify that you have set up random locations, which consists of defining location characteristics and setting up random rules. If you have defined location characteristics and set up random rules, you should also verify that you have created the random location table.
Verify that you have defined location profile information to enable putaway and replenishment for To and From locations, respectively.
See Defining Location Profile Information for a Single Location.
Verify that the size of the random locations can accommodate the item quantity that you plan to replenish to the locations.
Verify that you have defined the item warehouse process groups. The system uses an item's warehouse process groups in combination with the order group to identify the putaway and replenishment instruction tables. Putaway and replenishment instruction tables determine the To and From locations for putaway and replenishment, respectively.
Verify that you have set up order groups and specified order types IQ (Inventory Quantity) and OP (Purchase Order) for order types with which you are working.
Verify that you have correctly defined putaway movement instructions and replenishment movement instructions. The system uses putaway and replenishment instruction tables to determine the To and From locations for random location replenishment.
