Statement posting
When a statement is posted the system creates a Replenishment Planned Stock Demand record for all items with the Replenishment Calculation Method Like for Like in the Statement Lines. The record gets the default value from the Replenishment Data for the fields Like for Like Replen. Method and Like for Like Process Method.
Example:
If the Replenishment data fields contain:
- Like for Like Replen. Method = PO to Store
- Like for Like Process Method. = Replen. Job.
This means that records with these values are created in the Replenishment Planned Stock Demand table. The next step is when you run a Replenishment Journal of the type Purchase Order to Store. The records are included in the process and the item is ordered from the vendor and delivered to the store directly.
There is a report process that looks through all posted statements and processes statements that have not been processed.
To access the report:
-
Click the
icon, enter Replen. Upd. Like-for-Like, and select the relevant link.or
- Use Actions in the Replenishment Role Center as shown in the image below:
The report Replen. Upd. Like-for-Like goes through all posted statements and checks if the statement has been processed (if there is a record in table Replen. Like-for-Like Stmt.), and if not, it creates Replenishment Planned Stock Demand records for the items with the Replenishment Calculation Type Like for Like.
