How to: Set Up Redist. Matrix

Store Stock Redistribution supports different strategies to calculate the trips between the store and/or warehouse locations to redistribute items. The Redist. Matrix is based on the Hierarchies and Hierarchy Relations model and is used to define between which locations trips should be calculated and to provide a prioritization between the possible locations.

To set up a Redist. Matrix

  1. Go to LS Retail - Replenishment - Automatic - Redistribution - Hierarchy Relations.
  2. Click New on the Home action menu to create a new Hierarchy Relation.
  3. Fill in the Code and Description fields.
  4. Select the Redistribution option in the Usage Type field.
  5. Fill in the Hierarchy (Left) and Hierarchy (Right) fields, selecting same Store hierarchy.
  6. Click Edit Hierarchy Relation on the Home action menu to open the Hierarchy Relation Card.
  7. Select the Show Details (Left) or Show Details (Right) check boxes on the General FastTab, if you want to view the store or warehouse location(s) under a Node.
  8. Select a Node in the left Hierarchy Viewer.
  9. Select a Node in the right Hierarchy Viewer.
  10. Click the Add Relation (Active) action to establish a relation.

    11. In the above example, a Relation between the group Nodes ICE-REY and ICE-KOP was created. Hence, all the store/warehouse locations under both group Nodes are now related. You can check the details in the Redist. Matrix and Redist Matrix Details pages by updating the Redist. Matrix.

    Note: Creating relations between nodes is only possible on group node level.

    For more information on how to work with relations in Hierarchies see Hierarchy Relations .

  2. Click Show Redist. Matrix on the Actions menu to open the Redist. Matrix page.
