Execution: Purchasing, Transfers, and Lead Times

The physical execution mechanisms the system uses to fulfill stock shortages via inter-warehouse movement and optimized external purchasing.

Multi-Warehouse Rebalancing

  • Before recommending a purchase, the system evaluates other internal warehouses.
  • It identifies a "Donor Warehouse" by calculating: Current donor stock - Reserved donor stock - Donor reorder protection.
  • Shortages covered entirely internally trigger a Transfer; partial coverage triggers a Split (Transfer + Buy).

RFQ Generation & Sourcing

  • The system creates or updates Draft RFQs by intelligently grouping compatible Action Lines by company, vendor, destination warehouse, and currency.
  • Currency defaults in priority order: Supplier info price-list currency > Vendor purchase currency > Company fallback currency.

Purchase Schedule Profiles

  • If a rule dictates, large buy recommendations are automatically split into smaller, dated batches using interval spacing to prevent warehouse flooding.

Lead Time Learning

  • Instead of static vendor lead times, managers can run an analysis wizard on historical PO/receipt data.
  • It filters out negative durations or extremes (>730 days) and proposes a realistic lead time based on the rounded P80 (80th percentile) to accommodate for supplier delays.
