This report uses daily forecasting to show you exactly when and how much to order. It helps you stay fully stocked without over-ordering by comparing your current inventory against predicted sales.
Things to know:
- The ability to access this report is governed by the "Accessing Reports" access control settings.
- To calculate order quantities accurately, you must configure these two settings:
- Vendor Lead Time: Set this within the Vendor Profile for each location. This represents the number of days it takes for a vendor to deliver products after an order is placed
- Category Forecast Period: Set this under Business Setup > Settings by select the Category Forecast Period hyperlink. This defines how many days of stock you want to have on hand. You can set this per product category and location
- Note: The system requires sufficient historical sales data to generate an accurate forecast. If the Forecast Period is set to zero, the system will not generate forecasts for that category
- Once the vendor lead time and forecast period is set there will be a daily forecast executed to generate a Replenishment report. It will only forecast for SKUs that have enough historical consumption data.
- The system uses the following formula to determine the order quantity: (forecasted reorder point + forecasted consumption) - (quantity on hand + quantity on order).
- To quickly address stock issues, use the checkboxes below to focus on your most urgent inventory needs:
Only SKUs Below MIN: Use this to identify products that have already dropped below your safety stock level. This is critical if your forecasted sales are low, but your current physical stock is already at a risky level.
Only SKUs Below Reorder Point: Use this to see exactly which items need to be ordered now. This filter identifies products that won't have enough stock to last until your next delivery arrives.
- Replenishment data updates only once per day. Please keep the following in mind:
- If you change a forecast period for a product category, the Inventory Replenishment report will not reflect those changes until the following day
- Once an order is created, those items are removed from the "Auto Generate by Forecast Replenishment" list. You cannot take further action on these items or view updated data until the system generates the new data in the Inventory Replenishment report the next day
- When a replenishment-based purchase order is submitted, the system assigns that PO # to the vendor and location in the Inventory Replenishments report—even for products that weren't included in that specific order. Once a PO # is assigned, those records are 'locked' and will no longer be used to generate future purchase orders.
