This method is used for suppliers who may supply you on a set periodic basis. With such suppliers you order all their products at the same time and you do not usually reorder them until the next order is given to that supplier.

The logic behind this method is that each product is ordered in such quantity as to bring the stock levels up to the quantity which will be sufficient to ensure that there will be enough stock until the next order from that supplier arrives on the shop floor.

Note: With Replenishment Suppliers, in the Manage Orders page you have a “Generate Order” option once the supplier has been selected. On clicking this button the system then generates a purchase order as follows:

• The system searches all products assigned to the supplier in question and any products which have a replenishment level greater than zero and whose current stock is less than the replenishment level is placed on the order.

• The quantity ordered is equal to the replenishment level less the stock level rounded up to the nearest case quantity.
