About Replenishment Orders

When you generate orders on the Material Planner Workbench form, the system uses the replenishment order information to determine how to replenish each item. Assign replenishment orders ahead of time by entering a purchase order number, production schedule ID, or transfer order number on the Item/Warehouse form for the desired warehouse. When you run the Material Planner Workbench Generation utility, a release is planned on the order or schedule ID number you entered on this form. If no replenishment order number exists for the current warehouse, the system looks at the default warehouse for this item. If no replenishment order number exists for the default warehouse, the Replen Ord field is left blank for this order. Specify a number manually or leave the field blank and let the system create one when the order is firmed.

Regarding Plants:

If the warehouse on the Item/Warehouse form is non-dedicated, the chosen order's warehouse should be part of the plant that the warehouse of the record being updated, is part of.
If the warehouse on the Item/Warehouse form is dedicated, the chosen order's warehouse must be this Item/Warehouse warehouse, or a warehouse that is part of the default plant.

Note: Manually selecting a replenishment order on the Material Planner Workbench form affects only the records currently loaded on the workbench. To change all records in the system, modify the Item/Warehouse record for the warehouse that needs the replenishment.
