Automatic Replenishment

Purpose

This document describes the replenishment process, which fills up a picking area in accordance with the demand for products that you pick in this area. It describes the sequence of tasks you need to execute in the system and the corresponding warehouse activities.

In this automatic replenishment process, you use warehouse tasks to execute replenishment. The system creates replenishment warehouse tasks in the background when picking warehouse tasks are confirmed, and the stock in the source bin falls below a predefined threshold. The system calculates the replenishment quantity in accordance with the maximum and minimum quantity maintained for the product in the product master.

Prerequisites

1.1 Master Data and Organizational Data

Default Values

The organizational structure and master data of your company was created in your SAP ERP system during implementation. The organizational structure reflects the structure of your company. The master data represents materials, customers, and vendors, for example, depending on the operational focus of your company

The business process is enabled with this organization-specific master data, examples are provided in the next section.

Operational Focus

SAP Best Practices delivers standard values for more than one operational focus area, such as Services, Manufacturing, or Trade. This means that you may find more than one master data table below. Use the master data that matches the operational focus of your company (Services, Manufacturing, or Trade).

Additional Default Values

You can test the scenario with other SAP Best Practices default values that have the same characteristics.

Check your SAP ECC system to find out which other material master data exists.

Using Your Own Master Data

You can also use customized values for any material or organizational data for which you have created master data. For more information on how to create master data, see the Master Data Procedures documentation.

Use the following master data in the process steps described in this document:

1.2 Business Conditions

The business process described in this Business Process Documentation is part of a larger chain of integrated business processes or scenarios. As a result, you must have completed the following processes and fulfilled the following business conditions before you can start any activities in this scenario:

Business Condition Scenario

You have set up an inbound process or customer returns process and run through one of them, which is the prerequisite to create stock in the SAP EWM system.

Inbound Process with no Packing Information from Vendor (Y35), Inbound Process with Repacking for Putaway (Y36), Customer Returns with Quality Inspection (Y43)

You have set up the simple outbound process and run through it, which is the prerequisite for replenishment in the SAP EWM system.

Outbound Process Using Pick HUs as Shipping HUs (Y37)

You have completed all steps described in the

ERP-EWM Integration Business Process Documentation. ERP-EWM Integration (Y31)

You have set up the required warehouse structure. Sample Warehouse Structure (Y32)

1.3 Preliminary Steps

Performing Planned Replenishment

Use

If you execute the replenishment process for the first time, which means the products mentioned above in the Master Data section do not have stocks in the picking area.

For the SAP Extended Warehouse Management rapid-deployment solution, the Stock Data Transfer function (Transaction /SCWM/ISU) is not used to upload stock in the warehouse. In that case, you need to perform Planned Replenishment to fill up the picking area.

Procedure

1. Access the transaction using one of the following navigation options:

SAP SCM Menu Extended Warehouse Management → Work Scheduling → Schedule Replenishment

Transaction Code /N/SCWM/REPL

2. On the Schedule Replenishment screen, enter the following data then choose Execute (F8).

and Values Comment

Storage Type T051

Product <Product number> You can specify a

single product, multiple products or leave this field blank to replenish for all products

3. On the Select Replenishment Items screen, select the planned replenishment item of your choice then choose Perform Replenishment.

The picking storage type T051 is filled up from T010, T020, or T050 depending on where the products are stored at the putaway. Make sure you have sufficient stock for the products in the warehouse before the replenishment process, otherwise it is not possible to determine the source bin for the Warehouse Task, which subsenquently causes replenishment failure. To add stocks into the warehouse, refer to the Inbound

Process with no Packing Information from Vendor (Y35) or Inbound Process with Repacking for Putaway (Y36) processes.
