Inventory Stock Levels

You can set the inventory stock levels for your product by facility in the Catalog Manager's Product > Facilities. Each facility could have a minimum stock quantity and a reorder quantity. These settings will be used by Material Resources Planning to help reorder or manufacture products when they are out of stock.

You can also configure how inventory will be transferred from Backup Warehouses by setting the replenishment method flag in the ProductFacility entity. The options are:

• Never transfer: inventory is never transferred from backup warehouses. They will always be produced or purchased at the warehouse where they are needed.
• Transfer from backup warehouse if available: shortfall inventory is transferred from backup warehouses if the backup warehouse has inventory. This is the default option.
• Transfer from specified warehouse if available: shortfall inventory is transferred from the specified warehouse if that warehouse has inventory, and the predefined backup warehouses are ignored.
• Always transfer from backup warehouse: shortfall inventory is transferred from the backup warehouses, whether they have inventory or not. If they do not have inventory, the system could create a transfer requirement for you.
• Always transfer from specified warehouse: shortfall inventory is transferred from the specified warehouse, whether that warehouse has inventory or not.
