IC Replenishment Program Changes

Static Control F/M (ICF980)

In Static Control F/M (ICF980), the Physical Inventory option for Movement Class was replaced with an option for Rank.

Warehouse/Item F/M (ICF920)

The Warehouse Item F/M has changes to the Restocking tab in order to display the effective settings. The Restocking screen, allows review and modification of inherited settings. Some of the information displayed in this program is retrieved from Replenishment Parameter Maintenance. If you display a record here in Warehouse/Item F/M that has been updated in Replenishment Parameter Maintenance, the system may ask you to save the record in Warehouse/Item F/M even if you have not modified information on the screen. This is because the information has not yet been saved in the Warehouse/Item F/M data tables. Save the record to retain the information displayed.  Quick access to the Replenishment Parameter Maintenance program is also available for updating or overriding any inherited or item specific settings.  Select the Show Replenishment Math button to review the calculations for replenishment.

Selecting the Freeze checkboxes and making entries and clicking save creates a record in Replenishment Parameter Maintenance (if one does not exist) for this warehouse and item or changes the record in Replenishment Parameter Maintenance if a record exists and changes are made/saved here for this warehouse and item, or deletes the record for this warehouse and item if a Freeze check box is unchecked/saved here.

Quick Warehouse Entry

The Quick Warehouse Entry for new items screen has been updated to contain new replenishment parameters. The Threshold Minimum (T-Min Usage) parameter was added for usage during item setup. Fields that no longer are available are Movement Class, Order Quantity Method and Restocking Method. They have been replaced or defaulted in order as Rank, EOQ and Order Point / Line Point. In addition, the Qualified Usage entry field and button were removed.

Once the warehouses have been entered, exiting the screen via the Done button or screen closure will prompt for an export to Excel of the warehouses entered for the specified items. The Pending Review flag is also set for the items in the warehouse for later processing.

Warehouse/Vendor Review Cycle F/M (ICF945)

The Warehouse/Vendor Review Cycle F/M (ICF945) program has been removed from the FACTS system.  The program information has been added to the Review Cycle category in Replenishment Parameter Maintenance program.

The % Above Minimum setting has been removed as the setting referenced in the Min / Max restocking method.  The “Date Last PO Entry” and “Last PO# Entered” have been removed from the Warehouse/Vendor Review Cycle file; these values are now available in the Purchase Order / Transfer History View in the Buyers Control Center.

Item Inquiry (ICI610)—Restocking and Receipts Views

The Item Inquiry ‘Restocking’ view has been modified. A start from for warehouse has been added at the bottom of the screen. The Usage rate is a ‘current period going back 12 periods average’, so, if you access the Usage view, add up the actual usage and divide by 12 (or however many periods you have if less than 12), that is the value that is displayed in the Restocking view.

In Item Inquiry, the ‘Receipts’ view has been changed to resemble the Warehouse/Item F/M (ICF920) Receipts tab. The Archived PO button has been changed to Archived Doc and selecting it displays documents that are in the archive for Purchase Orders, Transfer Tickets, and Pick Tickets (based on the ‘type column’ PO=purchase order, TR=transfer ticket, SO=pick ticket and OS=Over Shipment) and opens the corresponding document if it exists in the archive. The initial display of data is from most recent date to ‘oldest’ date going back for 12 periods (so any receipt with a date that puts it ‘older than 12 periods in the past’ will not show up in the list of documents).
