Replenishment supplies stock to a location where it is needed, such as moving reserve inventory into a picking bin. In broader inventory planning, replenishment can also involve bringing new supply into the warehouse.[1]
Specify the relevant movement in operating instructions. An empty pick bin may need an internal transfer, whereas a shortage across all locations may require purchasing. Confusing the two can trigger unnecessary buying even when the goods are already on site.
