Dynamic replenishment quantities
The replenishment quantity is dynamically calculated to move the required quantity from a reserve location to the primary pick location. This quantity fluctuates, depending on the minimum and maximum quantities that are specified.
For example, your minimum is 10 and maximum is 100 and the quantity in the location is 40. A replenishment quantity of 60 is created by the system, if you are replenishing by product unit.
If you are replenishing by case quantity, and there are 25 in a case, the replenishment quantity is 2 cases.
Say, you are replenishing by pallet, and there are 75 on a pallet. A replenishment quantity is not recommended by the system because one pallet would overfill the location.
The system-calculated replenishment quantity can only be removed by a replenishment action. Stock movements and putaway tasks do not remove outstanding replenishment requests.
We recommend that older replenishments be cleared in TWL View Pending Replenishment and rebuilt. Use the TWL Top Off Primary Replenishment to keep current with actual quantities that have been adjusted by activity, such as picking or stock movements.
