The Orders Section shows the Manufactured litres that were expected, the quantity of litres that was Put Away, the difference shows any losses or gains.

Replenishment

This module is designed to allow you to replenish stock in “PICK” locations. It currently operates for a single customer only so if you are using it you will have to operate customer by customer

Info

A multi warehouse customer option is in development which will allow planning for multiple customers into the pick locations at the same time.

All Products Tab

This is used to identify products which are going to be used in the replenishment pick locations, you do not have to pick all stocks, it may only be your core range where you require pick locations.

Identify the products using the information provided which shows movements and usage over a period of time along with current stock levels and when re-stocking may occur.

Image Removed

Ask the system to calculate the replenishment quantities and output a report

Customers can then perform the moves using Flex which will update the system stocks automatically or manually update in the system after the moves have been performed.

You would need to select the products that you wish to replenishment into a location and then click on Update Records

Once you have selected all products that you wish to add, they will show in the Replenishment Setting tab

For the first time, using this screen and adding more products you would need to select the Pick Location, Product Max Cases, PL Min Cs RP and By Layer.

Image Removed
  • Prod Max Cs = the maximum number of cases for this product which we’ll allow in the Pick Location,

  • PL Min Cs RP = the minimum amount of cases which we’ll bother to replen (i.e. if we have max cases =56 and 55 in the location, there’s no point going to replenish a single case so the user can use this field to specify a minimum,

  • By Layer = If ticked then we’ll round up or down the cases to replenish to the nearest full layer (when Replenishment Calculations is used),

  • The Pick Location will need to be ‘Pick’ Location Type.

The RP Cases Qty will be calculated and set by the application when ‘Replenishment Calculations’ is used).

The Replenishment Calculations, you would be able to do all products that are on this screen or the selected products that is on left right grid

Output Options

  • PDF on Email - this will generate a PDF to show all the products that have an RP Cases Qty and where the stock will need to be moved from and to.

  • Send to Flex - this is currently not available in this release, you should get a message showing the following “New feature scheduled for a future release”
