You also need to consider: on-hand, on-order, back-order, in-transit, and rtv's, just to name a few.
Thanks, Marlene -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karen Brasier Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 11:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [EDI-L] VMI question We are going to do our first 852 and begin managing a customers inventory. I will need not only to accept the 852, but to create a VMI system on our 400. I have been reading about Vendor Managed Inventory, and studying/planning BEFORE I begin the coding, so I don't end up 99% complete but having neglected a huge piece for this system and having to start over. In the vendor managed inventory systems, once I set up and load the original file from the vendor that gives me their Upc cross reference with our items.. The minimum stock desired. The maximum stock desired. Date of last order. Re-order inventory point. And I will be receiving from them the current committed to sell, the quantities sold...should I keep those for future reference, or just calculate the quantity on hand bottom line to use. Do any of you who have created one of these vendor managed systems (rpg iseries here) have any suggestions for what information to retain permanently from the 852 trans? Does our forecasting for them come into play here? If so, we would have to keep track of sales trends per orders.... Just kinda thinkin' out loud here.... any input or suggestions would be appreciated... we are JUST at the very beginning here... Karen Brasier .
