Understand inventory replenishment processing

During End-of-Day (EOD) processing, inventory replenishment processing occurs first for warehouses that have replenishment warehouses. Then it is done for warehouses that replenish other warehouses.

During on-demand replenishment processing, replenishment processing occurs for a selected warehouse only; only products that meet the selected on-demand criteria (vendor, product class, product type, ABC code, and miscellaneous sort code) are considered for inventory replenishment.

Also note that during replenishment processing, the system processes products that supersede other products last — after all other products have been processed.

Inventory is replenished only in warehouses that carry sellable inventory — not in warehouses that carry core, warranty, or scrap inventory.

The following multi-part flow chart shows how the system handles inventory replenishment processing. (To print the flow chart, click Printable Version to open a PDF version of the flow chart that is suitable for printing.)
