Replenishment parameters

In TWL Web module, parameters are set to ensure the system is performing according to your company's operational standards. Your tasks are affected by how your TWL administrator set up system parameters. Ensure your TWL administrator has set these parameters to reflect your needs. For your information, task-related parameters are described in this section. The name, parameter type, level, value, and description are provided for each parameter. The default for each parameter is identified as [default].

Parameter ID:0008

Name
FIFO or Size
Parameter Type
Replenishment
Level
Global
Value
  • FIFO [default]
  • Smallest to Largest
Description
Replenishment Options
When finding inventory for replenishment, should the system find inventory by FIFO or from Smallest to Largest?
The inventory in the warehouse is searched for replenishment in a pre-defined order. The order options are either by size, from smallest to largest, or by first in first out logic.
There are advantages to both settings. If your primary concern in the warehouse is to consolidate inventory, then by choosing from smallest to largest will potentially consolidate material more than FIFO. If moving the oldest material is a primary warehouse concern, then selecting FIFO will move the oldest material first.
If more than one pallet has the same size, then FIFO is used to differentiate the goods.
