Calculate Replenishment Parameters

Form ID: (IN508500)

Note:

This form is available only if the Inventory Replenishment feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form. This form only displays items where Inventory Replenishment has been specified as the planning method.

You use this form to calculate replenishment parameters for the stock items for which automated replenishment was configured in your system. The system calculates the parameters according to the selected demand forecast model and the seasonality settings assigned to each item on the Replenishment tab of the Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) form.

Note:

If the Project-Specific Inventory feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the system calculates replenishment quantity and lead time only for stock items whose quantities are not tracked for a project. That is, if a stock item is included in a project for which on the Summary tab of the Projects (PM301000) form, Track by Project Quantity or Track by Project Quantity and Cost is selected in the Inventory Tracking box, the project's item quantity is excluded from the replenishment quantity.

For more information, see Replenishment for Stock Items and Configuration of Replenishment: Example of Parameter Calculation.
