Replenishment can be used within the same SAP Business One / PMX WMS warehouse and the aim of the function is to make sure that enough stock is available on pick locations to perform the picking process for a given period. The function has got two types in Produmex WMS, it can be location or item based.

When replenishment configurations are set for a location or an item, the Replenish Tool automatically creates replenish orders when the conditions below are met.

• The stock reaches the minimum quantity set for the location or the item.
• There is available stock on the bulk locations for replenishment.

The generated replenish orders can be executed on the shop floor with the help of the Mobile Client.

Define your bulk locations (locations that are not used for picking) and pick locations in your Organizational Structure.

During the process bulk locations are used to replenish pick locations in the warehouse. The replenishment function does not work if all the locations are set as pick locations.

Select the necessary replenishment type (extension) on the Replenishment generator and define the related settings. You can set only one of the two types.

• Generates replenishment orders (DEREPGEN): Replenishment orders are triggered based on the configurations of pick locations.
• Generates item based replenishment orders (BREPGEN) : Replenishment orders are triggered based on Item Master Data configurations.
