Multi-Level Replenishment

Formerly in WMS, inventories were replenished to an active location was done based on the location maximum capacity. That is, even when there were inventories available in permanent locations, the system could replenish only up to maximum capacity of units to the active/reserve location. This required the creation of replenishment tasks each time to satisfy order needs which in turn needed manual intervention. In an environment like fast paced seasonal warehouses, there is a demand to introduce a constant flow of replenishment to meet the order supply.

In order to improve efficiency and increase productivity, WMS has introduced a new functionality called Multi-Level Replenishment (MLR) that addresses the following:

  • Replenish Inventory beyond configured location max (Supported only through wave-based replenishment).
  • Ability to supply inventory in the fulfilment sequence when inventories are depleted in the destination location.
  • Capability to combine allocations from different waves templates into a common task.
