Not all items in a warehouse are managed using min / max levels - many will be managed using Product Forecasting Based on Sales History which predicts stock requirements.

1. Items may have minimum order quantities to reduce the requirement for min / max settings
2. Items have lead times which are used to estimate when new orders will be required

Some situations where min / max may apply

1. Stock moves infrequently and an emergency supply is required
2. Stock lead times are not reliable and a safety stock level is preferred
3. Retail Stores - where stock needs to be on the shelf at all times and hence safety stock is preferred
   
   1. Retail stores that replenish frequently may have the min = the max (ie anything sold is replenished)

The stock re-order grid shows SOH and sell rates for any visible warehouses.

Each warehouse that has min / max levels or any stock is listed here and can be updated.

2. Fill in the "Default" Column > then use the button to copy this value across to all stores 

Removing Excess stock from a Store or warehouse

In the Grid there are items where the stock in the warehouse is > the max level set.  A picklist can be emailed for these items to be removed.

Picklist

On the bottom RHS is the button to send a picklist to the store to remove excess stock

The picklist is accurate at the time it is created.  The target value is also listed in case sales are made before the pick is actioned so the picker can check the quantity that is remaining after the pick

Picking excess stock to be returned to supplier / Franchisor

Excess stock uses the same form as damaged stock to scan and label ready for return to the supplier (in a franchisee situation to the franchisor)

Update the quantity if required to the number of items that are being removed.

The items will be added to a Transfer to be returned to the supplier (in a franchisee situation to the franchisor)

Labelling the excess stock

A Labels will then print.  Attach to the item.  The label will be scanned on receipt by the Franchisor.

At any time can check all the items that have been removed from the shelf by looking at the transfer

These items then become part of /wiki/spaces/FK/pages/32640126 - see /wiki/spaces/FK/pages/32640126
