Refilling

This field works together with the Main warehousefield.

Refilling the current warehouse

When a main warehouse is selected as the source for refilling the current warehouse, the master schedule generates transfer orders.

When a coverage warehouse is specified instead of a main warehouse, the master scheduling process does not support refilling from the main warehouse. If you want to refill from a main warehouse, you must make Warehouseactive as an inventory dimension and select the Coverage plan by dimensioncheck box in Dimension groups .

Select Refillingto have the requirements that are generated from the master scheduling process filled through planned transfer orders from the warehouse that is specified in the Main warehousefield. The planned transfer order is listed in the Planned transfer order form as a type transfer, with the reference value Planned transfer order. In the Net requirementsform, two transactions are generated: a Planned transfer orderto refill the current warehouse, and a Transfer requirementfor the main warehouse. When the Planned transfer orderis firmed, a transaction is generated in the selected transfer journal. In the Net requirementsform, the references for the two transactions are changed to Inventory journal transfer. In Transactions , a receipt transaction with the status Ordered, and an issue transaction with the status On orderare generated for the relevant warehouses. When the transfer journal is posted, the statuses are changed to Purchasedand Sold, respectively.

Main warehouse

Warehouse used to refill the current warehouse when Refillingis selected. You can define main warehouses on more than one level.

Main warehouse and master scheduling

Main warehouseis used with master scheduling. If you specify a main warehouse for your current warehouse and select the Refillingcheck box, then all issues are fulfilled by planned transfer orders at this warehouse. By specifying a main warehouse without selecting the Refillingcheck box, you create a hierarchical structure of warehouses. This is necessary because otherwise you cannot specify specific rules for item coverage.

The following table shows the levels of the warehouses, their names, and their main warehouse, and in parentheses, other possible main warehouses that are further down the hierarchy.

Examples

• Warehouses can only refill from warehouses at a lower level. This is to prevent circularity.

  For example, C2 can be refilled only by B and A because D, E1, and E2 are on higher warehouse levels.

• A warehouse can be a refilling warehouse for more than one warehouse further up the hierarchy.

  For example, B can directly refill C1 and C2.

• A warehouse cannot be refilled by two warehouses.

  For example, D cannot be refilled by both C1 and C2.

• You cannot select a main warehouse that can be fulfilled by the warehouse itself.

• Another reason to specify the main warehouse is that when a planned production or purchase order is changed to a planned transfer order, the main warehouse is the default-from warehouse.

• On the Master planningtab, you can define a coverage warehouse for the current warehouse. You can also define a warehouse as a refilling inventory warehouse, for which planned transfer orders are regenerated from a main warehouse during master scheduling.

• A transit warehouse is a part of the hierarchy of warehouses of the Defaulttype. It is important to know that two warehouses on the same level cannot use the same transit warehouse.
