Replenishing distributor-owned products
Distributor-owned products in a Storeroom-managed warehouse are replenished through the standard replenishment process in Distribution SX.e. The Purchase Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report is generated, and any customer-owned product balances are deducted from recommended purchase quantities to avoid overstocking. The Transfer Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report can be generated for customer-owned products or products with customer-owned quantities.
You can also manually create a purchase order in Purchase Order Entry.
The replenishment process for distributor-owned products in a Storeroom-managed warehouse follows the standard Distribution SX.e replenishment workflow with these exceptions:
- These functions include the customer On Hand balances and the
Critical Product flag for Storeroom-managed
products:
- Purchase Demand Center Entry-Line Items
- Purchase Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report
- The customer part number is displayed on the Sales Entry Processing Back Order Fill/Allocation Report and the Receipts Report.
- Products that are unavailable because they require inspection can be included on the Purchase Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report and Transfer Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report. Inclusion depends on the value that is selected in the Include Unavail Reason Quantity field in Product Warehouse Product Setup-Ordering. For transfers, the unavailable products are included in the unavailable inventory in the receiving warehouse.
When you review the Purchase Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report, both customer- and distributor-owned quantities for each Storeroom product are included in the On Hand balance. Use these values to determine the correct quantity of distributor-owned products to purchase. Products that are fully customer-owned are not included on the Purchase Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report. Products that are customer-owned or have customer-owned quantities can be included on the Transfer Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report.
