Centralized Distribution provides a fully automated and auditable solution for receiving multi-store purchase orders into a distribution center (DC). It offers a seamless flow of merchandise from the DC to the remote stores via auto-generated Transfers.
Centralized Receiving allows you to:
Receive merchandise from a multistore consolidated PO into a Distribution Center (DC), updating the DC's quantity on hand, while reducing the individual stores' quantity on order. The system then automatically splits the received merchandise into Transfer Requests for each store.
Reallocate line-item quantities by store when you receive less or more than originally ordered, or when a management decision is made to reallocate
Create an alert indicating Transfer Requests have been generated
In the case of a failure to create a Transfer or to add an item to a Transfer, create an alert indicating this so that you can correct the problem
Distinguish Quantity on Order (QOO) on purchase orders from QOO on transfers
Set a default number of days for the Transfer Request Delivery Date
View all transfers, transfer status, transfer delivery date, PO reference, and location
View POs or Transfers through the QOO hyperlink in Inventory Maintenance.
