Creating Consigned Transfers for RDC Replenishment

On a regular basis, review a customer's on-hand quantity and create replenishment transfers, as needed.

You create replenishment transfers by running the Suggested Consignment Auto Transfer utility. This utility compares the uploaded count quantity with minimum stocking levels for each item. It then suggests replenishment transfers up to the defined maximum for any item with quantity below the minimum. Use the Consignment Transfer Queue to review and create suggested transfers, and then process the actual replenishment transfer from Sales Order Entry.

Note: You can view the most recent uploaded count quantity for an item in the Customer / Vendor Specific Part Numbers screen's Level field.

To create a consigned inventory transfer for replenishment:

Perform a consignment levels count to upload a customer's current on-hand quantity to the system.
Review and process the billing of usage for the consigned inventory.
Run the Suggested Consignment Auto Transfer utility to compare current on-hand quantity with minimum and maximum stocking levels.
Review the suggested consignment transfers for the customer in the Consignment Transfer Queue.
From the Suggested Consignment Transfer Queue screen, use the Create hot key to create the consignment transfer.
Process the consignment transfer from Sales Order Entry.
Repeat this process periodically to maintain inventory at the customer consignment location.
