Set Up Replenishment Rules
Replenishment Rules are used to set up rules for allocation (i.e. locations from where inventory will be allocated as well as the UOM for allocation). Replenishment Rules will specify:
- Allocation Zone
- Allocation Area
- UOM
Allocation Zones are viewed as zones of locations from which inventory will be allocated for replenishment. All storage/reserve locations that will be used to store inventory for replenishment will specify an allocation zone.
Note: Allocation Zones do not need to be defined in WMS like
replenishment zones.
Task Description | WMS Module | Overview/Comments | Task Details |
---|---|---|---|
Add Allocation Zones to Locations (Optional) | Location Master | Allocation zones are used to restrict allocation for replenishment from specific zones. The allocations zones will be added to the locations from which inventory will be allocated for replenishment. The location master will specify the allocation zone for each location. There can be multiple allocation zones. They can be used to prioritize location area from which inventory will be allocated. |

Create Replenishment Rules | Replenishment Template Link - Replenishment Rules | Replenishment Rules will be used to prioritize allocation from specific location areas, and also specify the UOM for allocation from specific location areas. In Replenishment Rules: - Sequence Number = Order in which allocation will occur with location area/zone - The location type = Location type from where inventory will be allocated for replenishmente |

Create Replenishment Rules | Replenishment Template Link - Replenishment Rules | In Replenishment Rules: - Restrict Area = Location Area from where inventory needs to be allocated (optional) - Restrict Allocation Zones = Allocation Zones of locations from which inventory needs to be allocated. Allocation zone specified in location master (optional) - Allocation Method - Allocation UOM = UOM at which inventory will be allocated - Flag 'consolidate and distribute' = This flag applies to units and cases. When checked: units and cases allocated will be moved to a temporary LPN to be moved When unchecked: Full LPNs of units and cases allocated will be palletized and moved even when partial allocated |
