Run Output

To see the output of a run, click a run name in the All Runs table or the contextual area in the Run Overview screen. The run output opens in a new tab with four sub-tabs. The first three sub-tabs show the three types of recommendations generated by the run. These sub-tabs are counterparts to the three sections (Replenishment Policy, Rebalancing Transfers, and PO/Transfers) in the Recommendations screen. In the Recommendation screen, for each product you can see the recommendations from the latest successful run. In the Run Output screen, the recommendations specific to a certain run are shown. When you approve a recommendation (replenishment policy, PO, or transfer) in a run, it replaces the previously approved recommendation. Details regarding the four sub-tabs in the Run Output screen are explained below.

Replenishment Policies Tab

The Replenishment Policies tab provides information about replenishment policies, which are characterized by two parameters: re-order point (RP) and receive up-to level (RUTL). These parameters are optimized and generated at the sku-location level.

In this screen you can review the parameters and select one or multiple policies from the table and click the Approve button to approve them. If there is already an approved replenishment policy for the selected SKU/locations, it will be replaced by this new policy. In order to approve replenishment policies for all SKU/locations that match the selected filters, click the Approve All button.
