HMM Auto Replenishment Process

Use this page to process replenishment transactions based on your auto replenishment templates and setup. On the HMM Auto Replenishment Process page, transactions are created when you process templates. Those transactions replenish items at your selected locations. You can only use the auto replenishment process for stock items.

Before you use the HMM Auto Replenishment Process page, make sure that you have used the HMM Par Count Process page to count on hand quantities of items at locations. The on hand quantities will be used when you process auto replenishment templates.

Processing Auto Replenishment Templates

You can select any of the replenishment templates. The available items will be displayed with their Quantity to Order which is calculated as the difference between the Quantity on Hand and Par Quantity.

You can review the auto replenishment quantities and make any adjustments to them if necessary and the type of transaction, Purchase Requisition or Transfer Preview, will also be displayed.

The type of transaction is determined by the following conditions:

Purchase Requisition (PR): This type of transaction will be used if a replenishment location is not assigned for the item and location on the Par List Setup. The preferred vendor which is set up on the Item Card page is used for the purchase requisition.
Supply Requisition (SR): This type of transaction will be used if a replenishment location is assigned for item and location on the Par List.
- A supply requisition (SR) created through the auto replenishment process will display in its Reference field that it was created by a par count and the date of the par count.

Whether or not auto replenishment transactions are created when you process a template depends on the on hand quantities of any items in the template. If the on hand quantities are less than the par quantities set up on the Par List, then replenishment transactions will be created.

Results of Processing Auto Replenishment Templates

When you select Process, a PR or SR is automatically created in Business Central, which depends on specific information about the items and locations included in the auto replenishment templates.

You can go to any of the transaction pages to continue replenishment process. For example, if the auto replenishment process creates a purchase requisition for Item A, then search for and open the HMM Purchase Requisitions page to view the details about that PR.
