Understanding Replenishment Requests

You create replenishment requests to refill picking locations in which items are depleted. A replenishment request contains information about the item, such as:

• Branch/plant

• Item number

• Unit of measure

• Quantity

• License plate number

The system uses this information to create suggestions for replenishment, based on the replenishment instruction tables and other setup that you define.

To verify that you have created a replenishment request for an item that you just picked, you locate the request using unique criteria, such as an order number, a document type, or an item number.

You also can cancel a replenishment request and stop further processing. For example, if the customer cancels a sales order, you would cancel the pick request for the order. Because you did not pick those items, you may not want to replenish the picking location.
