Configuration of Replenishment: Configuration Prerequisites

Before you start configuring replenishment in MYOB Acumatica, you should be sure that the needed features have been enabled, settings have been specified, and entities have been created, as described in the following sections.

Enabling the Needed Features

On the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the following features have been enabled:

  • Inventory Replenishment
  • Multiple Warehouse Locations if your company uses multiple warehouse locations
  • Multiple Warehouses if your company replenishes inventory through transfers

Configuring the System

You need to make sure that the following tasks have been performed in MYOB Acumatica before you start to configure replenishment:

  • Basic company settings have been configured, as described in Preparing an Instance for Implementation.
  • At least the minimum general ledger, cash management, accounts payable, and accounts receivable functionality has been implemented. These functional areas of MYOB Acumatica do not require any change to their configuration when replenishment is configured; however, this functionality should be implemented before you set up replenishment. For details, see Company Without Branches.
  • The basic configuration of order management with inventory has been performed, as described in Order Management with Inventory.
  • On the Warehouses (IN204000) form, the needed warehouses have been created.
  • On the Item Classes (IN201000) form, the needed item classes have been created.
  • On the Stock Items (IN202500) form, the needed stock items have been created.
  • Optional: On the Replenishment Seasonality (IN206600) form, the needed seasonalities have been created.

Identifiers for Replenishment Requests

MYOB Acumatica uses a numbering sequence to automatically generate identifiers for new replenishment requests. Replenishment requests are internal records that the system creates automatically when you process stock items on the Prepare Replenishment (IN508000) form. Thus, this numbering sequence is for internal use only.

On the General tab of the Inventory Preferences (IN101000) form (Numbering Settings section), you can review the numbering sequence that is used to generate identifiers for replenishment requests.
