Manual replenishment
If you handle the replenishment manually, you enter the supply orders when the inventory at the customer location is physically replenished. LN does not need to generate these orders. This topic describes how to set up LN for this situation.
If the supplier's representative determines which items will be replenished when and in which quantity, you must select the manual replenishment method.
Parameter setting
To specify this replenishment method, define an appropriate terms and conditions agreement on the Terms and Conditions Line (tctrm1620m000) session's Planning tab.
Use the following settings:
| Responsible for Supply Planning | = | Yes |
| Replenishment Based On | = | Manual |
| Planning Based On | = | (Any value is permitted) |
If the Replenishment Based On field is Manual, LN can still generate planned orders, but these planned orders are not transferred to the execution level. These planned orders only serve to generate the dependent demand and create inventory of the item at the supplier's location. For more information, refer to Replenishment method different from planning method.
To turn off all planning functionality for an item during the effective period of a terms and conditions line, set the Planning Based On field and the Replenishment Based On field both to Manual.
