HMM Auto Replenishment

Use this page to set up auto replenishment templates which assign the replenishment levels for selected item and location combinations. For example, you can set up an auto replenishment template for bandages and face masks at Location A. The bandages and face masks must be set up as stockkeeping units and they must have Stock as the usage. You can then add those items to an auto replenishment template.

You can use replenishment templates to replenish items at locations by processing the templates which then creates either purchase requisitions or transfer previews. Purchase requisitions are created if no replenishment location is assigned on the location par list. Transfer previews are created if a replenishment location is assigned on the location par list.

You can view a list of your auto replenishment setup templates on the list HMM Auto Replenishment Setup List page.
