Chapter 8: Replenishment
1 Replenishment lets defined areas in the warehouse, where the main picking activity occurs, be maintained at optimum stock levels.
2 The area in which stock is stored prior to picking is generally called the primary picking area.
3 In warehousing, you can define:
• Replenishment for a given item and a given location.
• Replenishment for a given item in a storage location group.
• Replenishment lists.
• Replenishment in real-time on the RF device.
• Overpick Replenishment.
4 In overpick replenishment, warehouse staff can select a multi- or single-item pallet from the reserve area and replenish one or multiple locations from the pallet in the picking area. After staff replenish, they can return the remainder on the pallet to the reserve area.
5 False In warehousing, more commonly, you can define replenishment for a given item in a storage location group.
6 The replenishment request lets you run a simulation of the replenishment. You can then run a report to look at all the replenishments to be done, simulate a picking, and generate a list of all potential transactions, without actually creating the transactions.
7 The Area Below Replenishment Point field in Replenishment Request (4.16.13) lets you adjust the value of the replenishment point defined in Replenishment-Location Maintenance or Replenishment-SLG Maintenance.
8 True. When the inventory for a given item in a given location stays above the replenishment point, running the replenishment has no effect.
9 As soon as the system issues inventory and stock drops below the minimum level, the system automatically creates a replenishment task.
10 The system typically uses the pick (PK) algorithm for locations and the PK and put away (PA) algorithms for SLGs
