To ensure uninterrupted operations and accurate material planning, iDempiere provides detailed controls and visibility over how products are replenished, stored, reserved, and expected to be available<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These capabilities are managed through dedicated tabs within the Product window, enabling users to plan procurement, monitor physical storage, track reservations, and understand incoming quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning Product Availability Using Replenishment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Replenish<\/strong> tab is used to define how and when a product should be replenished to maintain required stock levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How replenishment works<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Minimum and maximum stock levels are defined per warehouse<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Replenishment rules determine when purchase or transfer suggestions are generated<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Planning is based on current stock, reserved quantities, and expected receipts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Key configuration includes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Selecting the Warehouse<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Defining Minimum and Maximum Inventory Levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Setting Replenishment Type<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Custom<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Maintain Maximum Level<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Manual<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Reorder below Minimum Level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Maintaining Safety Stock if required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        This ensures that products are planned proactively and stock shortages are avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Understanding Where the Product Is Stored (Located At)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The Located At<\/strong> tab provides visibility into the physical storage location of the product within warehouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How location tracking works<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Shows the warehouse and locator (bin\/rack) where the product is stored<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Displays on-hand quantity by storage location<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Supports multi-location storage within the same warehouse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          This helps warehouse and site users quickly identify where materials are physically available for picking or issuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Tracking Reserved Quantities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          The Reserved Quantity Log<\/strong> tracks quantities that are committed to future transactions but not yet issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          How reservation works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Quantities are reserved when linked to confirmed sales orders, project demands, or internal requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Reserved stock reduces available-to-promise quantities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Reservation history is logged with reference details<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            This ensures that stock committed to projects or orders is protected from being consumed by other transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Monitoring Incoming and Ordered Quantities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            The Ordered Quantity Log<\/strong> provides visibility into quantities that are expected to be received but are not yet in stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            How ordered quantity works<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Quantities are created from Purchase Orders or transfer orders<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • These quantities increase expected availability but do not affect on-hand stock<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Logs provide traceability to the originating purchase documents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              This allows users to anticipate future stock availability and plan project activities accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
