Replenishment is a fully integrated module designed to support the purchase department with proposals, what to order for the warehouse(s) and the stores, to avoid out-of-stock situations, and to have the right items at the right place at the right time.
The Replenishment suite in LS Central can be divided into four major areas:
- Planning and Data Maintenance
