Warehouses

LS Central supports Replenishment processes for retailers with:

• No warehouse
  
• One warehouse
  
• Multiple warehouses.

In a setup with no warehouse, all purchase orders are delivered directly to the stores. In a setup with multiple warehouses, stores need to be assigned to warehouses for all or selected items.

Goal

The goals of this step:

• Get a detailed understanding of the retailer's company structure and the warehouse structure.
• Create a topology drawing
• Select the right model in LS Central
• Set up warehouses in LS Central.
