Vendor Managed Inventory
Vendor managed inventory
Supply planning by the supplier is an aspect of vendor managed inventory (VMI). To give the supplier control over the inventory, the supplier defines the warehouse at the customer's location as warehouse in the supplier's LN system.
The supply planning by supplier can be applied in three scenarios as shown in the following table:
Scenario | Owner of the supplied goods at the customer's site | Responsible for managing the warehouse at the customer's site | Responsible for the supply planning |
---|---|---|---|
Full VMI | Supplier | Supplier | Supplier |
Planning by supplier | Customer | Customer | Supplier |
Warehouse management by customer | Supplier | Customer | Supplier |
