Replenishing products using the Demand Center

Replenishing stocked products is an automated process that uses the Purchase Demand Center Entry. The Purchase Demand Center Entry enables the buyer to access Purchase Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report (PO RRAR), make any necessary changes, accept the PO RRAR, and then merge to create purchase orders.

We recommend that you run the PO RRAR nightly as a stored report because the report takes time to process. The next day, you can review the PO RRAR in the Purchase Demand Center Entry.

Set up the stored report with @rrxxx as the job name; where xxx represents the buyer’s initials. This generates a report with your predetermined ranges and options selected. For example, for buyer ABC, you set up a stored report with job name @rrabc. The buyer specifies their appropriate ranges and options.
