Accomplishing the Replenishment Configuration

Step 1: Setup one Pick Bin and Setup One-Letdown Bin, and then click the Save Bin Tag Rank button

The Big Tag Rank determines the source bins for the Replenishments. By default, the flow of inventory is Overstock Bin, Let-Down Bin, and Pick Bin. Custom tags can also be created and utilized for Replenishments. Moreover, the Replenishment must be set up for each tag in the rank moving forward.

The Bins must be tagged with a tag included in this rank to be considered for replenishment.

Step 2: Click the Create Tag button, and then set up Bin Tags

It may be helpful to edit this view to include Tags that are not visible.  For more information, please visit our help article on Views.

To select a Bin Tag, follow these steps:

Step 2.1: Tick on a Bin (you may select multiple Bins)

Step 2.2: Click Tags

Step 2.3: Select Bin Tag

You may also tag Bins in the Warehouse module.

Step 3: Setup Cart

Replenishment gives you the option to use a cart as an intermediary step between the initial bin where you pull the inventory and the bin to be replenished.

Any Bin marked as a process Bin is a replenishment cart. For more information, you can visit our help article on Pick Carts and Totes.

Step 4: Finalize Replenishment Levels

Replenishments Levels are required for Warehouse Manager to determine when replenishments are needed. They can be viewed, imported, or deleted by tag or by bin.

Replenishment Levels can be configured by Tags or Bins. Configuring by Tags provides a broader setting and configuring by Bin allows for more customization of quantities at the bin level.\

To setup Replenishment Levels, follow these steps:

Step 4:1 Find the bin you want to adjust the replenishment level for. 

Step 4.2: Enter the Replenishment Level QTY

This field determines in what quantity a replenishment job must be created. If the QTY On Hand falls below this value's threshold, a replenishment job is created.

Step 4.3: Enter the Desired QTY 

Desired QTY is the desired inventory level in the specified bin. This could also be considered the maximum amount of inventory in the bin. Extensiv Warehouse Manager will calculate the Desired QTY – Bin QTY to determine how many units to replenish

Step 4.4 Click the Save Button

Executing on Mobile

Once Inventory has been decremented to at or below the Replenishment Level QTY, a Replenishment Transaction will be created in Mobile.

Step 1: Log in to mobile, and then go to the Bin Move and then the Replenishment.

Replenishments look at a bin or pick bins with low inventory, and then trigger a replenishment transaction.
Replenishments can be viewed In Progress, Bin Replenishments, and Tag Replenishments. Replenishment transactions are in the Bin Replenishments or Tag Replenishments based on the configuration set in Step 4.

Step 2: Click the View Tag Replenishment

Step 10: Scan the part to verify to complete Put Away, and then click the Continue button

Step 11: Scan the Pick Bin requested and then click the Continue button

Scanning the Pick Bin requested puts away the Parts into the requested bin based on the Bin Tag Rank.
