Replenishment Process

The Replenishment Process for reoccurring items is carried out through Replenishment Journals. There are two types of Replenishment Journals:

  • Purchase Replenishment Journal: 
    The journal creates Purchase Order documents to replenish stores and warehouses. In case of orders with cross-docking quantities, the journal also creates a corresponding Transfer Order to replenish the stores by transferring goods from the warehouse, or a Sales Order to replenish the stores from other companies.
  • Transfer Replenishment Journal: 
    The journal creates Transfer Order documents to replenish the stores, or Sales Order documents to replenish the stores from other companies.
