Calculation of Replenishment Item Quantity
The Replenishment Item Quantity table is used to store a snapshot of the current stock situation of the items in the stores and warehouses. This table is usually calculated once per day in a nightly Scheduler Job run and is the basis for the calculation of the Replenishment Journals.
If the Out of Stock days should be considered in the Replenishment Item Quantity calculation, the Out of Stock table needs to be calculated upfront.
The below process describes how the Replenishment Item Quantity table is created or updated - for a more detailed description of the fields in the table, see Replenishment Item Quantity.
There are four methods of calculating the table:
1. Calculation for a single Item
