Inventory Replenishment

Inventory replenishment is the process of ordering stock from suppliers in time to meet customer demand and avoid stock shortages.  Sandbox will calculate the order quantity based on the ordering controls on the product, on hand, and available to purchase (ATP), and on order. 

The ordering controls, Reorder Point and Maximum Quantity, serve as the Min/Max method and attempts to keep your on hand inventory within a specific range.  

Reorder Point is the lowest quantity you want to maintain on the shelf / ATP .  If the quantity reaches or goes below the reorder point then the product will show up in your replenishment to order.

Maximum Quantity is the maximum quantity of product to order.  This will factor in ATP and product already on order from a supplier to reach maximum quantity.  For example, if maximum quantity is 20, and there are 2 ATP, and 2 already on order then the quantity to be ordered will be 16.

To create a PO(s) from Replenishment;

1. Go to Inventory > Replenishment
   
2. Optional, search for product by Supplier * 
3. Select product to purchase by checking box to the left of product
   
4. Update quantities in To Order column, if required
   
5. Click Create (top right) to add product to PO(s)
   
6. Select supplier for all line items or individually
   
7. Click Purchase Order to create POs

Once created, PO #s can be updated prior to distribution to supplier(s).  You can go to each PO, update Payment Terms, edit/add line items, and submit for approval.   Replenishment POs require approval.
