About Replenishment Orders

This topic provides an overview of replenishment orders.

When you generate orders on the Material Planner Workbench form, the replenishment order information is used 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 default warehouse is used 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.

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.
