Creating internal replenishment orders (Stock Control)

Related topics

Some of the benefits of utilizing the Internal Replenishment Order (IRO) functionality for stock supply between warehouses include:

  • Complete control of both supplying and receiving through the utilization of the normal sales and purchase order functionality, e.g. pick list and pick confirmation on the supplying side and reception note and goods reception entry on the receiving side
  • Planning can utilize the normal order functions, e.g. time-axis for availability check
  • For follow-up, you can use all order enquiries, statistic printouts or the Report Writer capabilities to include or exclude IRO’s

You can create IRO’s in two different ways:

The IRO creation process results in one or many sales orders with one or many corresponding purchase orders, all depending on the number of different receiving warehouses specified on the Internal replenishment suggestion (IRS).

Create from IRS
The process of creating an IRO from an IRS is controlled via the default order type for the customer. The customer is the same as the To warehouse when you work with IRO’s. The order type controls whether or not the creation of the orders is to be done in batch or direct.

If the order types (i.e. both sales and the corresponding purchase) are of a direct type then you create the IRO’s in one step:

  • Create IRO

If the order types are of a batch type then you create the IRO in the following sequence:

  • Create IRO
  • Create IRO purchase order

Note: The status that the sales order and the purchase order will receive depends on the order types used. The only restriction is that pick list must be printed for the sales order and goods reception cannot be performed for the purchase order until the sales order has been pick confirmed.

Note: If you specify NO on the Create IRO panel the intermediate data interchange database will be utilized. As a result, you also have to run an additional step: Retrieve sales order for IRO creation. This function is not likely to be used unless you have a very restricted organisational hierarchy.
