Understanding Replenishment Profile

What is Replenishment Profile?

A Replenishment Profile determines which replenishment jobs are visible to operatives on the Replenishment Execution screen. While it does not create jobs, it plays a critical role in filtering and controlling which jobs an operative sees and can perform.

When an operator accesses the Replenishment Execution screen, they are prompted to select a Replenishment Profile. This selection tailors the job list based on criteria such as zones, job types, and verification checks, allowing teams to work efficiently and in line with operational goals.

Key Components of a Replenishment Profile

🗂 General Settings

Name: A clear, descriptive name to identify the profile.
Initiation Method:
- User: Jobs are started manually by the operative.
- System: Jobs are assigned automatically (commonly used for automated task allocation).

Short Pick

Short Pick allows you to define how the system handles situations when insufficient stock is available in the designated source location to fulfill a replenishment request. If enabled, it prompts the system to either:
- Short-pick the required quantity and allow the job to be completed with less than the requested quantity.
- Flag the job for review or reprocessing if the short pick needs manual intervention.

Over Pick

Over Pick permits the operator to pick more than the required quantity from the source location. This is typically used when the replenishment is slightly more than required or when there is excess stock available. When enabled, this feature will:
- Allow operators to pick extra stock, ensuring replenishment doesn't fall short in case of future demands.
- Provide control mechanisms to alert users when excess inventory is picked.

📦 Job Zones & Job Types

Profiles include checklists to specify which zones and job types should be included.

✅ Only replenishment jobs within the selected zones and job types will be shown.
❌ Jobs falling outside these selections are excluded from view.

Use this to:

Limit profiles to specific operational areas.
Filter by job function (e.g. bulk replenishment vs. urgent top-up jobs).

🔍 Verifications

Verifications add accuracy and control to the replenishment process. They prompt operatives to confirm certain actions or scan key data before progressing.

Available Verification Options:

Verification	Description
Location Check Digit	Requires scanning either the location code or a 3-digit check digit to confirm correct location.
Pick Units	Allows users to input a quantity (e.g. "5 units") instead of scanning each item.
Item Scan	Prompts user to scan the item’s barcode to confirm SKU identity.
Batch Number	Requires verification of the batch, critical for items needing traceability or expiration control.
Short Pick to Another Location	If stock is insufficient at the primary location, enables sourcing from an alternative location.
Pick Single Job Instruction to Multiple Containers	Allows a single instruction to be split across containers — useful when one container can't hold the entire quantity.
Use Carrier Label as LP	Not applicable to replenishment profiles at this time.

Use verifications to enhance process reliability, especially when handling sensitive, regulated, or high-value goods.

⚙️ Dynamic Input (Advanced)

For advanced users, dynamic input fields allow the use of custom scripts to manage:

Barcode parsing
Business-specific logic

These are typically configured during onboarding or advanced customisation phases.
