1. Replenishment

Replenishment is an internal process and it control to fill up a picking area in accordance with the
demand for products.

Normally warehouses have primary zones and buffer zones to manage their inventory. These primary
zones maintain nearby to door areas to use as picking area and maintain with predefined maximum,
minimum stock quantity levels. whenever any product stock level falls below minimum stock level, a
replenishment WT executes to fill stock up to maximum level.

There are two levels to control replenishment process, one is at storage type level and other one is
storage bin level. It means required material quantity can either be determined for the storage type as a
whole or, in the case of a fixed bin scenario, for each individual fixed bin in the primary area.

There are different types of replenishments available in SAP EWM.

Planned Replenishment − Planned replenishment execute with transaction ‘or’ in the back ground. The
system calculates the replenishment with reference to the defined minimum quantity and maximum
quantity. Replenishment control is triggered when the stock is less than the minimum quantity .

Order Related Replenishment − Order related replenishment executes with reference to open
warehouse request items, this can be performed in the background or with transaction.

2
Automatic Replenishment − The system starts automatic replenishment during warehouse task is
confirmed. Replenishment is calculated as per the maximum and minimum activity.

Direct replenishment -This is a replenishment as a reaction (Ex: Pick denial) to stock shortfalls during
confirmation of warehouse tasks.

Crate part replenishment – This process initiates in accordance with production process requirements.

Picking replenishment is only permitted from this storage type.

Storage Type Group for Replenishment During Picking:

Picking replenishment is only permitted from this storage type group.

Consider only unblocked stock:

System Ignore Stocks from Bins with Stock Removal Lock

Warehouse Task Immediately:

Specifies that replenishment should be performed by a warehouse task created immediately.

Do Not Consider Putaway Quantities:

Specifies that planned putaways (open warehouse tasks) should also be included in calculations of the
current stock quantity for replenishment.

New quantity at WT creation:

Specifies that the replenishment during creation of a warehouse task (WT) is calculated again if the
replenishment TO is created for a warehouse request.

1.1.3 Configure Execution Times for Replenishment

At the time of the replenishment run, the system calculates the planned completion time for the
warehouse task or the replenishment warehouse request by adding the entered execution time to the
current system time.

Maintain control parameters for storage type, where replenishment level maintained as ‘storage type’.

Max. No.Bins: No of storage bins to store the product.

Min.Replen.Qty: Creates WT for multiples of minimum replenishment qty.

Example: useful for withdraw products in pallets without partial pallet quantities.

Minimum quantity: Initiates replenishment process once stock level falls below minimum quantity.

Maximum quantity: Replenishment initiates to fill up to this quantity.

Control parameters

Do Not Consider Minimum Quantity:

During replenishment the system fills storage bins up to the maximum quantity of the product,
regardless of whether the minimum quantity of the product is not reached.

If do not set this indicator, the system only performs replenishment if the minimum quantity of the
product is not reached in the storage bin or in the storage type.

Fill to Maximum Quantity:

If set this indicator, the system performs an order-related replenishment in such a way that the
maximum quantity of the product in the storage bin or storage type is always reached, for products that
are relevant for replenishment.

If do not set this indicator, the system fills up to the requirement quantity (quantity in open deliveries).

Maximum Quantity Can Be Exceeded:

Specifies that the maximum quantity can be exceeded during order-related replenishment.

If set this indicator, replenishment takes place over and above the maximum quantity, if the
requirement quantity (quantity of open delivery items) for a product is larger than the maximum
quantity of a product in the storage bin/storage type.

If do not set this indicator, the system only fills up to the maximum quantity.

1.6 Direct replenishment

Direct replenishment is only possible in fixed storage bin scenarios. It is started during a bin denial (pick
denial), when an exception code refers to the internal process code Replenishment. The system
calculates the replenishment in accordance with the maximum and minimum quantity. Here it assumes
that the quantity at the storage bin is zero. The system rounds down the replenishment quantity to a
multiple of the minimum replenishment quantity.
Direct replenishment can be performed by the picker (picker-directed replenishment). In this case, a
warehouse task is displayed for the replenishment as the next item to be processed in the picker’s
warehouse order. As a prerequisite, the system must have found stock in the permitted storage
types. Picker-directed replenishment is only possible in RF scenarios.

replenishment quantity to a multiple of the minimum replenishment quantity.
