Replenishment Tier Management

Product replenishment tiers are created and managed using the Replenishment Tier Manager. Replenishment tiers are used to alter the quantities ordered via Model Stock (for Grid products) and Reordering (for non-Grid Products) when creating Purchase Orders. This is necessary because inventory quantities change throughout the year based upon forecast sales, buying patterns, or changes in product supply.

The initial stock level set on a Product is considered a store’s standard or baseline level. Replenishment Tiers can be created to increase or decrease those established levels on a date-based need.

From this manager you can:

Create New Replenishment Tiers
Edit Replenishment Tiers

Path: Inventory > Replenishment Tier Manager
