Identify Potential Auto Replenishment Items

Consider the following questions when determining whether an item should be included in AR functions and what its Min/Max Levels should be.

• What is the item’s velocity?
• How much shelf space (in both store and warehouse) can/should be allocated for the item?
• Does the item represent one of the highest-selling lines/products in the store?
• Does the item support high selling items?
• Does the item have a quantity break?

• Is the item purchased and received in bulk packaging (i.e., cases, cartons, etc.)?

  Note: Refer to Set Up a Case Quantity for more information.

• Is it difficult to acquire the item?
• Is the item in back stock?
• Should the item’s Min Level be set to 2 (or more) to ensure the AR module orders the item while it is still available in stock?
