Overview of Replenishment
Short description: Replenishment is the movement of inventory from reserve
storage locations to picking storage locations. The purpose of replenishment is to
maintain adequate inventory levels to meet customer demand.
Some objectives of integrating Replenishment into WMS include:
- You can replenish inventory for locations if the inventory goes below a defined level.
- Replenishment can be based on requirements such as satisfying orders for stores.
- In this case, certain dedicated replenishment locations can be configured to consolidated orders for a store.
- Replenishment is performed in Active Locations and also allows you to perform Reserve to Reserve replenishment.
Oracle WMS Cloud supports four replenishment modes:
Each replenishment type has different criteria for when the replenishment wave is triggered:
- Minimum Capacity: Triggered when a location’s current quantity goes below the required minimum quantity.
- Percentage of Max: Triggered when the volume of items in the location goes below the location’s pre-configured percentage of maximum volume.
- Reactive: Triggered when you manually scan a location to be replenished.
- Order Based: Triggered when an order’s SKU needs to be replenished in the picking locations.
