In this article we will discuss how the replenishment grid works. It is important you understand the forecasting process, as this will populate the replenishment grid. 

Let's review the grid layout: 

• Product
  The product code, description and forecast status dot
• Default Supplier
• Order Qty
• Unit of Measure
• Source Warehouse (blank if replenishment is not from a production plan)
• Destination Warehouse
• Order by 
  The date calculated that you should create the transaction. If the transaction is a from a production plan, the system will take the date the stock is needed, calculate the amount of time required to produce that many units from the BOM duration settings and deduct this amount of time from the required completion date. 
  If the replenishment is calculated from a production plan, then the Order by date is simply the date the stock is required, minus the lead days of that product. 
• ETA
  The required date that stock is need to arrive according to the forecast or production plan. 

As you save a forecast, calculate a production plan or if AIM receives a new sync of data (which is about every hour) then the replenishment tab will be updated. 

If you would like to examine the forecast that calculated the replenishment, you can click on the product, and the supply chart will be opened in the forecast: 

Here we see the replenishment is plotted in the Supply chart: 

If you would like export the Replenishments grid, you can use the Export function above the grid. This will download a spreadsheet for you to work off.  

Currently, you will need to create transactions based on the Replenishment Tab. These will then be loaded into AIM and the required replenishments will be recalculated. In the future, you will be able to create transactions from within the Replenishments Tab.
