Part Replenishment

Replenishment is used to ensure that a Part always has the desired quantity on hand at the specified Warehouse. Replenishment can be setup based on either the Minimum Quantity that a Part should be allowed to drop to, or a specific Reorder Point quantity. 

 

Min/Max

The Minimum Quantity is the lowest you would like a part's quantity to fall to in a specific warehouse before it should be reordered. For example if your Minimum is set to 5 and the Part Qty for a Warehouse falls to 4, then reorder will be triggered.

The Maximum Quantity is the highest you would like a part's quantity to reach. Therefore this will determine the quantity that is reordered. In the example above, a quantity of 2 would be reordered to reach a Maximum of 6. 

 

Reorder Point

 The Reorder Point is the Quantity that you would like the Reorder of a Part to be triggered at. For example if your Reorder Point is set to 3, then once the Qty falls to 3 or lower the Reorder will be triggered.

The Reorder Quantity is the amount that will be included in each Replenishment order.
