Replenishing Inventory

There are two ways for you to create replenishment batches:

Option 1: From the Inventory Simulation

  1. Select a product to be replenished in the inventory simulation area of the planning board.
  2. Select Inventory > Replenish from the menu by selecting Inventory > Inventory > Points.
    The Replenish window is displayed.

Option 2: From the Inventory Points Window

  1. Open the Inventory Points overview window by selecting Inventory > Inventory Points from the menu.
  2. Select an inventory point that has a process step that produces (replenishes) the product.
  3. Click Replenish.
    Unless you have failed to complete step 2, the Replenish window is displayed.

Replenishing Inventory

  1. Select the General tab on the Replenish window, if it is not already selected.
  2. Enter the number and quantities of the batches you want to create.
    You will see the total quantity of batches you intend to create as well as the quantity needed to reach the standard inventory level.
  3. Select which process step you want to use for the replenishment.
    The default step is indicated with an asterisk (*).
  4. Click the Options tab.
  5. Select the appropriate scheduling option.
  6. Click the OK & Edit button.
    The Schedule Process Batches dialog box is displayed and where appropriate the Create Inflow window. The Process overview window is displayed after you click OK in this window. Alternatively, click OK if you just want to schedule process batches and, where appropriate, create inflow, but not make any edits in the Schedule Process batches dialog box.
    Note:  The Schedule Process Batches and Create Inflow windows only open if they are turned on in the preferences and there is a stage in which inflow can be created.
