Consider Weight Check During Replenishment

Oracle Fusion Cloud Warehouse Management System includes a weight-based check in the replenishment rule in the existing Capacity Check Method. These weight-based checks include two fields in the Capacity Check Method drop-down in the replenishment rule of replenishment template UI:

  • Weight, Fall Back to Units
  • Volume, Weight, Fall Back to Units

WAVE-BASED REPLENISHMENT

If the weight-based capacity check is done during allocation from Wave-based Replenishment and you select the replenishment rule with Capacity Check Method = "Weight, Fall Back to Units", then the system considers the location’s maximum weight in Units for capacity check. However, if the location’s maximum weight is greater than zero, then the quantity to replenish =< available capacity on the location with respect to maximum weight and maximum units.

If the weight-based capacity check is done during allocation from Wave-based Replenishment and you select the replenishment rule with Capacity Check Method = "Weight, Volume, Fall Back to Units", then the system considers the location’s maximum weight in Units and Volume for capacity check. However, if location’s maximum weight is greater than zero, then the quantity to replenish =< available capacity on the location with respect to maximum weight, maximum volume and maximum units.

STANDALONE REPLENISHMENT

If the weight-based capacity check is done during allocation from standalone replenishment and you select the replenishment rule with Capacity Check Method = "Weight, Fall Back to Units", then the system considers the location’s maximum weight in Units for capacity check. However, if location’s maximum weight is greater than zero, then the quantity to replenish =< available capacity on the location with respect to maximum weight and maximum units.

If the weight-based capacity check is done during allocation from standalone replenishment and you select the replenishment rule with capacity check method = "Weight, Volume, Fall Back to Units", then the system considers the location’s maximum weight in Units and Volume for capacity check. However, if location max weight is greater than zero, then the quantity to replenish =< available capacity on the location with respect to maximum weight, maximum volume and maximum units.

The weight-based capacity check is done during execution of Replenishment template when capacity check method is defined based on weight and Replenishment Trigger Mode is selected to any of below defined value:

  • Minimum Capacity
  • Percentage of Max
  • Order-Based Replenishment
  • Reactive Replenishment : When you scan the location using RF : Reactive Replenishment for replenishment, the system performs capacity check based on weight, and the replenishment rule for reactive replenishment triggered is configured with:
    • Weight, Fall Back to Units: System considers the location max weight in Units for capacity check. However, if location’s maximum weight is greater than zero, then the quantity to replenish =< available capacity on the location with respect to maximum weight and maximum units.
    • Weight, Volume, Fall Back to Units:System considers the location’s maximum weight in Units & Volume for capacity check. However, if location maximum weight is greater than zero, then the quantity to replenish =< available capacity on the location with respect to maximum weight, maximum volume and maximum units.

REPLENISHMENT TASK EXECUTION

You can perform weight-based capacity check during execution of a replenishment task even though capacity checks happen during allocation. In the meantime, when a replenishment task is picked for execution, there are chances that the target location may be filled with inventory from different transactions, for example, Locate LPN, Putaway etc. Hence, replenishment task execution by weight-based capacity check takes places when corresponding replenishment rule is configured with capacity check:

  • "Weight, Fall Back to Units"
  • "Volume, Weight, Fall Back to Units"

During replenishment task execution, the weight-based capacity check also considered for the following task types:

  • REPLEN-CS-PK-UNITS (Replenishment of Cases, Packs and Units)
  • REPLEN-LPN (Replenishment of Full LPN)
  • Internal Bulk Pick (Consolidate & Replenish)

SUPPRESS CAPACITY CHECK DURING END LPN OF CONSOLIDATE AND DISTRIBUTE TASK EXECUTION

You can also suppress the capacity check during End LPN (Intermediate LPN) when you execute Consolidate and Replenishment tasks. During Consolidate and Replenishment task execution, system does not perform capacity check (Units/Weight/Volume) at the End LPN (Intermediate), but it displays the allocated quantity. When you scan the quantity to replenish, system then performs capacity check for the following scenarios:

  • If replenishment location has the capacity to move all the allocated inventory, then replenishment takes place.
  • If replenishment location does not hold the incoming inventory, then the system displays an "Insufficient Capacity" error message.

REPLENISHMENT RULES

  • Oracle Fusion Cloud Warehouse Management System performs critical dimension checks while determining candidate locations for replenishment.
  • You can enable Perform Critical Dimension Check from the Replenishment Template View, Replenishment Rules screen so that you can determine replenishment space available for incoming IBLPN/Items.
  • During allocation from Standalone Replenishment, Wave-based, and Reactive Replenishment, as long as Perform Critical Dimension Check is enabled in the replenishment rule, the system will perform LPN type critical dimension checks of the LPN with location dimensions.

While replenishing to Reserve locations, the system considers the LPN type or length/width/height of the container and for Active locations it is unit dimensions.
