Typically, these replenishments take place at a time when the activity does not get in the way of the busy pickers; at the beginning of the day or lunch time. A forklift driver will fetch the stock from the bulk location and place it in or near the pickface so that others can place it or open the cartons ready for picking. | Typically, these replenishments take place at a time when the activity does not get in the way of the busy pickers; at the beginning of the day or lunch time.

After calculating the replenishment for the pickface location, mSupply will do the same for this location if there is one entered.

First, bulk stock is moved from bulk into the pickface and second, stock is moved into the preferred bulk location. There might be a repack involved with the pickface replenishment but there will never be a repack with the prefereed bulk location replenishment. | ||
