About Replenishment

Is This What I'm Looking For?

Use this article when you want to understand how replenishment works in InfoPlus before you set it up. Without replenishment, your pick locations can run empty even when you have stock in storage. This article does not cover the steps to build each part or how to perform replenishment work. You set up replenishment on desktop, and your team performs the replenishment work in the Classic mobile app.

What Is Replenishment?

Replenishment moves inventory from storage locations to pick locations. Storage locations hold your extra stock. Pick locations, also called forward locations or pick faces, are easy for your pickers to reach. Replenishment keeps your pick locations full so picking stays fast.

How Replenishment Works

You set up replenishment in three parts. Do them in this order. Each part depends on the one before it.

1. Create a pick face assignment

A Pick Face Assignment tells InfoPlus which SKU belongs in which pick location. You also set two quantities:

• Replenishment Point: the quantity at which you want the SKU replenished.
• Max Quantity: the most that can be placed into that location.

This comes first. The plan and the process both use your pick face assignments to know what to refill and how much.

2. Create a replenishment plan

A Replenishment Plan groups a set of pick face assignments so you can replenish them together. You build the group with a smart filter on the Pick Face Assignment table.

This comes second. The plan needs pick face assignments to filter. You can run the plan any time or schedule it to run on set days and times.

3. Create a replenishment process

A Replenishment Process creates the Pick and Put Away work that refills your pick locations. A process is created when you run a replenishment plan. You can also create one straight from the pick face assignments you select.

This comes last. The process uses your pick face assignments and your plan to decide what work to create.
