Inventory and SLG Considerations
The system considers inventory in the storage location group (SLG) during wave replenishment to determine if enough inventory is available in the forward pick location. The system checks for stock first in the home SLG for the item, then in the overflow SLG linked to the home SLG.
The system looks for the home location using the following sequence:
1 Use the first dedicated location for the item.
The system uses the SLG that corresponds to the item and the dedicated location that you specify in Location Maintenance (4.3.13). You set the Dedicated field to Yes for the home location.
If you have multiple dedicated locations, the system uses the first location it finds.
2 If the SLG in the home location is not available, use the SLG that corresponds to these definitions in this order:
a The first item-SLG replenishment definition in Replenishment SLG Maintenance (4.16.9)
b The first item-location replenishment definition in Replenishment Location Maintenance (4.16.5)
The quantity to replenish is calculated as follows:
Qty to replenish = Qty required (1) – Qty available and coming in (2)
Where:
Qty required = qty needed on that wave for the item + qty required on all waves for that item (1)
Qty available = stock QOH + stock coming in for open replenishment tasks for the SLG you need to replenish + overflow QOH and overflow qty coming in for the associated SLG (2)
You define a replenishment list in Wave Planning Control that contains the SLGs that you want to pick from to replenish other SLGs during wave replenishment.
