Replenishment Proposal/Replenishment Element

Definition

Replenishment proposals and replenishment elements are objects which trigger and control the supply of components to production.

As long as these objects have not been saved, they are known as replenishment proposals . You can process these replenishment proposals in the supply-to-production table .

As soon as you save a replenishment proposal which was either created manually or automatically by the system, it becomes a replenishment element . The technical element behind the replenishment element is the components groups of a summarized JIT call.

Structure

Note the following special features when using the outbound summarized JIT call as the replenishment element:

  • The system groups all the summarized JIT calls created in a planning run under a common header. The components group number at item level of this summarized JIT call is significant for all the subsequent processes.

  • The components groups are not usually grouped together. That is, every component is included in the call as a separate components group. Replenishment proposals are already grouped quantitatively by lot-size creation, rounding and scheduling in the supply-to-production table.
