Question & Answer
Question
WMS: Replenishment tasks not getting created. What are splitting and Zone level constraints and where are they configured in SMCFS 8.0?
Answer
What are Splitting constraints?
Pick Location Assignment (PLA)
split constraints are available under WMS tree -> Pick Planning -> Pick
Location Assignment Rule.
Check for following options in "Splitting is
allowed for"
- Pallets and Cases
- Pallets but not Cases
- Neither Pallets nor Cases.
If the radio button "Neither Pallets nor cases" is selected, replenishment will not be generated if the inventory is stored in license plates (i.e. Pallets and Cases)
What are zone level constraints?
Zone level constraints are
configured under WMS tree -> WarehouseLayout -> Zone details.
Under
specific zone details check for the drop down "Choose the unit of measure
utilized for the storage of products".
If this drop down is populated
with Case/Pallet value, then replenishment will not be generated.
Excerpt from Section 4.7.4 Creating a Replenishment Strategy in WMS_Configuration_Guide.pdf:
Note: If you configure the replenishment
strategies for the zones that have split constraints defined at the PLA rule
level or zone level, the Sterling Warehouse Management System does not perform
demand-based replenishment. The existing pend-in quantities are also not
considered for allocation. This is to avoid violating a split constraint as the
exact information about the incoming inventory is not available. Such zones can
be replenished using the location monitoring rules.
