PAR Location Replenishment

The replenishment process considers the PAR location definition and uses the count options, requested quantity, current on-hand level, and any in-process requests to create an appropriate replenishment request. The replenishment request takes the form of a purchase requisition or warehouse request. The supplier or warehouse fills the request and delivers the material to the PAR location.

After submitting counts for a PAR location, a replenishment process performs these steps:

  • Evaluates each item in the count to determine the amount to replenish and the type of replenishment.

  • Considers the PAR location replenishment count type to determine the order quantity.

  • Uses the PAR location unit of measure if there is no provided count unit of measure.

  • Evaluates existing demand and supply for the item in that particular PAR location to determine how much to order. This is similar to min-max replenishment.

  • Checks for the reasonableness of the request to avoid miss-keys of an order quantity that could create requests for unintended large orders.

Sourcing details define the replenishment source. You can define the sourcing details at various levels of granularity starting with the item subinventory.

The levels include:

  • Item subinventory level

  • Subinventory level

  • Inventory item level

  • Inventory organization level

This table shows the supported replenishment source types.
