Definition: Replenishment is the movement of inventory from upstream storage locations to downstream, picking and shipment locations. The purpose of replenishment is to keep inventory flowing through the supply chain by maintaining efficient order and line item fill rates.
Logiwa has a Replenishment Process. In this document, we show how to set up replenishment on Logiwa.
Setup
Location Setup
On the replenishment process, there are two different locations in the system.
- replenishment sources (upstream locations)
- replenishment targets (downstream (picking) locations)
The replenishment locations function's should be defined on the Location screen.
1- For replenishment sources, the "replenishment source" parameter should be opened.
2- For replenishment targets, the "replenishment target" parameter should be opened.
3- For replenishment targets, we need to define the "picking const" information via the "Picking Const" tab on the Location screen.
Item: The item will be fed from the replenishment targets to the location.
Replenishment Point: Desired inventory quantity for this location.
Replenishment When Below Quantity: Safety stock quantity for this location. When the inventory quantity is less than the "Replenishment When Below Quantity", the replenishment tasks will be created for this location and item.
Replenishment Operation
Task Creation
In order to create replenishment tasks, open the Warehouse Task Processing screen and click "Create Replenishment" button.
Fill the necessary filters on the pop-up and click the OK button.
After this operation, replenishment tasks will be created.
In order to create a job type for the replenishment tasks, select the replenishment tasks on the Warehouse Job Processing screen and click the "Warehouse Job List Based on Tasks" button. Create a replenishment job type for these tasks.
After that, you are ready for replenishment.
Task Execution
Replenishment task execution process has two steps
- Pick the inventories to a mobile location from the replenishment target locations
- Put the inventories to the replenishment sources from the mobile location
Replenishment 1st Phase
WMS > Mobile > Transfer Operations > Replenish 1st Phase
On this first part of the replenishment, we pick the products from upstream storage locations to a mobile location.
The replenishment tasks will be suggested one by one.
After this operation, the source location of the replenishment tasks' will be updated as the "mobile location" and task statuses are still entered.

WMS > Mobile > Transfer Operations > Replenishment
On this part of the replenishment, we put the products from mobile locations to the downstream storage locations.
On this screen, you should scan the job code or from the location.
