Store Capacity

Store Capacity management is a tool to maintain maximum quantity or space consumption of sections and shelves in stores, grouped by item categories or product groups, and for a specific season. Its primary goal is to ensure that items are at the right size to meet current and future business requirements in a cost-effective manner.

Store administrators can determine how items are being allocated by defining store capacity limit and capacity consumption for the specific item, and generate a report to show the current stock situation. You can then use this information to check whether there is a conflict with the capacity limits in order to avoid physical deterioration of items due to lack of space in the stores.

A Store Capacity can be linked to the Redistribution Replenishment Journal to ease the process of transferring stock to replenish the stores based on the relevant capacity information such as actual used capacity and capacity goal. Through the linked Redistribution Replenishment Journal, stock can be monitored and transferred from warehouses to the store by utilizing the Manual Redistribution feature in Store Stock Redistribution. This lets you maintain the optimum quantity and space consumption in the stores in an efficient way.
