The central supply board and pick lists

See everything your branches asked for in one place, confirm it, and print pick lists to dispatch.

Steps

1. Go to Inventory, open Replenishment, then Supply and Demand board.
2. Pick the Supply site (your central kitchen or warehouse).
3. Switch between Item x location and List. Tick Shortfall only to see items you cannot cover.
4. Read the columns: Requested, Forecast, Available, Incoming, Shortfall and Will create.
5. Click Confirm. The dialog tells you how many internal orders and transfers will be approved and how many production and purchase orders will be created. Confirm again.
6. On the Dispatch screen, click Print pick list for each destination and pick the goods.
7. Find past runs under Confirmations.

Good to know

• Tick specific requests under Open documents to confirm only those.
• If part of a confirmation fails, open it from Confirmations to retry.
• Branch purchase orders to the central kitchen are paired with a sales order before approval. If pairing fails, the approval is refused and the order stays as it was.
• A banner warns when approved internal orders have no sales order yet.
• Needs the demand planning add-on and the supply confirm permission.
