Replenishment

Replenishment tasks are affected by how your TWL administrator set up these system parameters; for example:
  • Parameter 0008, Replenishment Options, determines which inventory to replenish inventory from; that is, by first in, first out (FIFO) or smallest to largest.
  • Parameter 2011, Counter Primary Replenishment, determines which locations are used to replenish the counter locations. The parameter can be set to either replenish the counter locations from non-primary locations in the warehouse or from any location including other primaries.
  • Parameter 2112, Replenish from Primary, when set to Yes, enables primary locations that are not counter locations to replenish another primary location. This replenishment includes standard replenishment and those created during the order drop process. With this parameter enabled, a pallet primary may replenish either case or split-case primaries, and a case primary may replenish a split-case location. Larger units of measure can replenish smaller units of measure, but smaller units of measure cannot replenish larger units of measure. Units of measure can change due to splitting.
    For example, a case contains 20 units, and 5 cases are in the full-case primary location. No units are in the split-case primary location, but there are 10 cases in the overstock location. The quantity ordered is 25. A replenishment task is built to move the broken case to the split-case primary location. This table shows the condition, and resulting numbers for a full case, a split case, and overstock:
    Condition Full Case Split Case Overstock
    Beginning quantity 5 cases of 20 0 10 cases
    Pick request 1 full case of 20
    5 units from broken case 0 0
    Quantity remaining in location 3 full cases of 20
    15 units from broken case 0 10 cases
    Quantity moved to replenish split case 15
    Ending balance 3 full cases of 20 15 10 cases
  • Parameter 2113, Counter Zone Replenishment, may be set to Yes. If so, inventory in bin locations for the same counter zone as the primary counter location are available for generating replenishment.
