Replenishment Classes

Form ID: (IN208800)

Note: This form is available only if the Inventory Replenishment feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

You can use this form to define new replenishment classes or to view and modify existing replenishment classes. Replenishment classes are used to define how stock items in different warehouses should be replenished. For example, stock of a central warehouse may be replenished by purchasing, while stock of other, smaller warehouses can be replenished by transferring the items from the central one.

You associate replenishment classes with warehouses on the Warehouses (IN204000) form and with stock items on the Stock Items (IN202500) form. For details about replenishment classes, see Configuration of Replenishment: Classes and Sources of Replenishment.

Replenishment Source

The default source used for stock replenishment in a warehouse.

You can select one of the following options as the primary source of stock replenishment:

  • Drop-Shipment: No actual replenishment is performed for the item because it is sent directly from the vendor to the customer. When you add the item to a sales order on the Sales Orders (SO301000) form, the system automatically selects the Mark for PO check box so that a purchase order of the Drop-Ship type can be created for the item. This option is available only if the Drop Shipments feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
  • Manufacturing: The item will be manufactured to replenish its stock. The Inventory Planning Display (AM400000) form shows stock items with this replenishment source for which production orders should be created.
  • None: No replenishment is required. This option could be used, for example, for a warehouse that is closing its operations or if ISV integration is used.
  • Purchase: Stock of the item will be replenished by purchase orders for the vendor when it is determined by the replenishment settings and in the quantities calculated based on the replenishment settings. By default, the default vendor specified on the Vendors tab of the Stock Items (IN202500) form will be used in a purchase order, but you can select another vendor on the Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) or Prepare Replenishment (IN508000) form. If replenishment of a stock item should be performed by purchasing directly from a vendor to a warehouse, on the Inventory Planning tab of the Stock Items form, you leave the Replenishment Warehouse box empty.
  • Purchase to Order: No actual replenishment is performed for the stock item. When you add this stock item to a sales order, the system automatically selects the Mark for PO check box so that a purchase order of the Normal type can be created for this item. This option is available only if the Sales Order to Purchase Order Link feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
  • Transfer: For stock replenishment in a warehouse, the items will be transferred from a source warehouse. This option is available only if the Multiple Warehouses feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
