Example: Replenishment in Responsive Replenishment (RR)

In the Responsive Replenishment (RR) business scenario, the supplier runs SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) together with an ERP system for sales order processing. The typically large supplier works for customers who have contracted the replenishment planning out to the supplier. In the RR scenario, the supplier has the task of delivering to the customers in the most timely and accurate manner possible (under consideration of the safety stock). The supplier runs replenishment planning in SAP SNC using a replenishment service, periodically in the background with a Planning Service Manager run (PSM run). The replenishment service creates the required planned receipts for a customer location product. If necessary, the supplier can also start the replenishment service in the RR Monitor.

The planned receipts are saved in SAP SNC as planned replenishment orders (orders of the order document type DRPV). The supplier can use the TLB service to be able to load means of transport according to certain criteria. From the planned replenishment orders, the TLB service creates TLB shipments (orders of the order document type TLBO), which are assigned corresponding replenishment orders (orders of the order document type VGOR). SAP SNC sends the replenishment orders to the customer back-end system and to the supplier back-end system, where purchase orders or sales orders are created, respectively.
