PO Planner - Store Replenishment Orders

Jan 07, 2009 3 Replies

We operate a multi-store chain using RMS (Store OPS and HQ).



We are hoping to begin moving away from Store based purchasing to a more centralized structure for the majority of our product offerings. We are finding the PO Planner (Worksheet 340) is not functioning properly.



We have set reorder and restocking levels for items and we have confirmed that the stores and the HQ item information and quantities are synchronized. However when we run the PO Planner to generate a store replenishment order it gives us nonsense data, ordering items that are overstocked, ordering incorrect quantities that we can't figure out how it was calculated or ignoring items that are below the reorder point all together. We have tried every combination of the options to generate the PO's but they all come up with garbage.



Is there a major programming error in the PO Planner that we should be aware of or does anyone else have an idea where we need to look to fix this.

Update - I have found KB document 919887 that may help correct the cause of my problem but I am struggling to have faith in the programming logic used to run the PO Planner if this is truly the problem. Also it is something that is going to be reoccurring just through normal everyday business realities. I will try the solution and I will let you know.

I ran the script that reset the Qty received to date to equal Qty Ordered for any items where the Qty received to date is greater than Qty Ordered.

The script ran fine but it did not solve the problem.

Anybody have any ideas?

Just in case there is someone else out there that shares my pain. Apart from the script to fix the bug there is a service pack that fixes yet another bug.
