Store Stock Redistribution supports different Calculation Types to identify the items that need to be redistributed to other stores. The system calculates the quantity needed in the store to determine if more stock is needed to fulfill the demand, or if there is excessive stock that can be supplied to other stores. The calculated Redist. Demand and Redist. Stock information of the items can be viewed in the Redist. Preview page.
Calculation Types
Store Stock Redistribution provides the following Calculation Types to calculate the supply and demand in the stores:
- Sales Demand
This Calculation Type calculates the sales demand until end of season, lifecycle, or calculation horizon for the items across stores and warehouses. Based on current stock, expected sales demand and a buffer value, the system will classify locations into locations with demand or supply. - Stock Balancing
This Calculation Type calculates the average stock for the items across all stores. Based on current stock and the average stock value, the system will balance the stock between the stores and therefore classify locations into locations with demand or supply. - Reorder Point/Max. Inventory
This Calculation Type calculates the current stock for the items in the stores and warehouses. Depending on the fields Reorder Point and Max. Inventory, as well as the current stock, the system will classify locations into locations with supply or demand. - Manual Redistribution
This calculation type is similar to the Sales Demand calculation type: the system calculates the sales demand for items across stores and warehouses until the end of season, lifecycle, or calculation horizon. Furthermore, the system calculates the current variant availability to identify broken variants. This calculation type does not classify locations into locations with demand or supply.
The Retail Item Variant Availability by Location page lets you determine manually how the variants shall be redistributed among the stores.
