Replenishing cart and par locations

By default, all cart and par locations are replenished from another location. You specify whether to replenish from a bin or from a vendor. If replenishment is from a vendor, the average lead time days are calculated based on the requisition dates and receiving dates for the selected vendor. Generally, purchase orders have too long of a lead time to replenish the frequently used items in a cart or par location. You determine when the inventory of the location is at full par level. Par levels can be calculated in Inventory Control to maintain an efficient amount of stock.

A cart or par location represents a supply location, such as a supply cupboard, that stores established quantities of supplies. Cart and par locations can be set up and replenished manually or by using handheld terminals.
