Organise Replenishment
If storage places have been configured as picking places, they can be replenished from reserve locations. This can be done automatically or via the check replenishment action. In both cases, correctly set up replenishment strategies are essential.
Automatic replenishment
The option for automatic replenishment can be found in the SIEVERS WMS setup. If this is activated, inventory or Load Carrier move jobs are automatically generated depending on the replenishment strategy and demand.
Check Replenishment
You can use this action to manually trigger a replenishment check for a Location Code and any other filters. A replenishment check should be carried out regularly, especially if Automatic replenishment is not activated in the SIEVERS WMS setup. You can also automate the replenishment check using Schedule.
If errors occur, they are skipped. You can view them on the Check Repl. Aut. Protocol page.
Production Storage Place Replenishment
With this report you can determine and create replenishment for fixed production storage places – independently of open production orders. This way the replenishment of the rest of the warehouse is completely separated from production. The report takes into account the replenishment strategies configured on the item or inventory data, as well as the minimum and maximum inventory levels of the production storage places.
The report can be opened via the Business Central search and can be scheduled for automated execution via a job queue entry.
- Group by: Defines how replenishment move jobs are grouped. By default, grouping is done per item. To optimize route guidance in production supply, the following options are available (only one option can be active at a time):
- Target Storage Place: Creates replenishment move jobs per target storage place (production storage place). Activate this option to avoid mixing move jobs across different target places. A move job can contain multiple items if they have the same target storage place. Conversely, multiple move jobs can be created for one item if it needs to be distributed to different production storage places.
- Target Storage Area: Creates a replenishment move job for the specified target storage areas. Enter one or more storage areas separated by "|" (e.g., "PROD-A|PROD-B"). Only one move job is created that contains all lines with matching target storage area. Replenishments for other storage areas are not created.
- Target Storage Area: Creates a replenishment move job for the specified target storage areas. Enter one or more storage areas separated by "|" (e.g., "HALLE1|HALLE2"). Only one move job is created that contains all lines with matching target warehouses. Replenishments for other warehouses are not created.
- WMS Teams: Activates the team-based grouping of move jobs. When activated, all other grouping options are deactivated. The move job creation follows this logic:
- Primary grouping: Internal Transport Team from SNCL Move Job
- Secondary grouping: Internal Transport Follow-up Team from SNCL Move Job
- Per move job, only lines with an identical team combination are consolidated
The following filter options for the storage places are available:
- Location Code
- Warehouse Code
- Storage Area
- Row Code
- Level Code
- Storage Place Type
- ABC Code
- Blocking Code
If no filter field is filled, the report checks and creates replenishment move jobs across all production storage places. The calculation and creation of the replenishment corresponds to that of the regular Check Replenishment report.
