Store Capacity management is a tool to maintain maximum quantity or space consumption of sections and shelves in stores, grouped by item categories or product groups, and for a specific season. Its primary goal is to ensure that items are at the right size to meet current and future business requirements in a cost-effective manner.
Store administrators can determine how items are being allocated by defining store capacity limit and capacity consumption for the specific item, and generate a report to show the current stock situation. Users can then use this information to check against a calculated Replenishment Journal whether there is a conflict with the capacity limits in order to avoid physical deterioration of items due to lack of space in the stores.
You can access the Store Capacity page from these pages:
