Replenishment Processing Enhancements

System Alerts and Background Processes

The system alert and background processing routines facilitate any actions needed to feed into the Buyers Control Center and Exception Control Center. The system has a defined set of routines and the update interval required to perform the exception and replenishment calculations. In addition, order point and line point adjustment routines receive updates during system register processes. Receipt of items will adjust the order point based on lead time changes for example, and occur automatically at preset intervals. The background processing agent is responsible for handling these updates and providing the data to the system.
