Note: You need to set the Planned from whs field to 2=Supplying warehouse for the internally supplied warehouse on the Item file maintenance, Inventory management panel. Otherwise this item/warehouse combination will never appear on an internal replenishment suggestion.

  1. Select the Create internal replenishment suggestions menu item.
  2. You access Internal repl suggestion creation where you can define what item/warehouse combinations should be evaluated for internal replenishment.

    3. Selection

    Enter ranges or state individual values for the different selection fields. The item/warehouse combinations in the selection that need to be reordered will be included in the IR suggestion.

    Click OK.

  3. You access the next Internal repl suggestion creation panel. Complete the following fields.

    4. Break

    In the fields below you specify how you want to divide the IR suggestions created in this selection.

    To warehouse
    Indicate if you want the internal replenishment suggestion to break on change of To warehouse.
    Planner
    Indicate if you want the internal replenishment suggestion to break on change of Planner.

    Specification

    Complete the specifications below:

    Description
    Enter a description for the internal replenishment suggestion.
    Handler
    Mandatory entry, unless the suggestion is defined to break on Planner. Then, it is not allowed. Enter a code from Work with signatures, indicating the handler for this internal replenishment suggestion.
    Extra days to cover
    This field is defaulted with the number 1. Leave as is or change to that applicable. The number in this field is added to the planning time when checking the time axis for orders.
    Extra ROP days
    Only applicable to ROP items. Enter the number of days of forecasted demand (i.e., a summary of actual forecast from the Forecast file starting from today until “Extra ROP days” ahead in time) that you want to add to the re-order point when you create IR suggestions. This will result in more items appearing on the purchase suggestion.
    Extra quantity
    Enter the percentage by which you want to increase the suggested quantity on the IR suggestion.

    Click OK.

    The system selects items according to the selections you have entered and calculates the suggested purchase quantity. This quantity can be calculated in two different ways, depending on if the item is defined (in the Item file) to be under time axis control or not:

    • Time axis items
      The available quantity at the end of the planning time is calculated. If it is a requirement, the greatest of the required quantity or the economical order quantity will be the suggested purchase quantity.
    • Non time axis item
      The available quantity today is calculated. If it is a requirement, the greater of the required quantity or the economical order quantity will be the suggested purchase quantity.

Exit the routine.

What to do next?
Once you have created the IR suggestion, you can maintain, delete, print or transfer the suggestions to internal replenishment orders.
