Floor Stock Replenishment Report

CAUTION: Depending on factors such as the number of jobs and production schedules, and depending on your hardware setup, this report can take a long time to complete. You might want to run this report at night or in a background queue.

The Floor Stock Replenishment Report lists quantities needed to fill existing work center floor stock locations to cover the production requirements you specify. The report also lists requirements for consolidated materials for the jobs and production schedules you specify.

You can include or exclude the current quantity at the work center floor stock location. To accommodate picking and filling personnel respectively, this report sorts by From Location or To Location.

NOTE: It is possible to define more than one location for a single work center, allowing two parts with uncommon locations to be assembled at a common work center.

Setup and System Processing

The Floor Stock Replenishment report is used to "refill" backflush locations for items. If a location is tied to a work center in the Locations form, and there is a backflushed part on an operation for that work center, the system finds the quantity in that location and compares it to the "unissued" quantity for that operation. If the quantity falls below zero, then it appears on the report.

Use this report only for locations with an associated work center. To associate a location with a work center, you select the work center on the Locations form. That location is then referred to as a floor stock location.

The following example illustrates this process.

Example

Item A is stocked in the following locations and quantities:

Location Qty
Stock 500
Loc-1 10
Loc-2 25

Work center AS-500 is associated with location Loc-1, so Loc-1 becomes a floor stock location for work center AS-500.

There are two assembly lines for Item A. The assembly lines run through two different work centers. Each has its own floor stock location and therefore its own available on-hand quantity:

Assembly

Line
Work

Center
Floorstock

Location
Quantity
Line 1 FA-400 Loc-2 25
Line 2 AS-500 Loc-1 10
N/A N/A (Stock) 500

Consider the following for this example:

AQ = OHQ - RQ where

AQ = Available quantity

OHQ = On hand quantity

RQ = Reserved quantity

Processing Backflushed and Non-Backflushed Items

The report processes requirements for backflushed and non-backflushed items, if you have associated an item location with a work center location.

NOTE: Backflushing does not occur as a result of running this report. Backflushing occurs as a result of completing quantities.

Output

This report identifies consolidated quantities of inventory that must be moved to a floor stock location for pending production. To post a move transaction to move that inventory, select one of the following options in the Post Material Moves field:

For more information on move transactions, see Item Stockroom Locations.

Handling Serial Number/Lot Tracking

This report provides information on the location and quantities needed to replenish floor stock locations. If you are using lot tracking or serial numbers, the report does not provide specific serial numbers or lots, only quantities needed.

Exception Messages

When there is inadequate stock to cover the requirements, exception messages display. These messages allow you to intervene and make adjustments.
