The merchandise management process of redistribution describes the planned redistribution of stock. The redistribution of stock takes place between the stores or sales areas. In doing so, the stores are analysed with regard to their sell-through indicators and classified into potential issuing and receiving stores. Stores whose sell-through does not correspond to planning or proves poor transfer their stock to better-selling stores. This process is carried out both automatically and manually. As a result, the stores or sales areas receive scan requests based on the generated redistribution proposal, which must be completed and confirmed in the system.

REI-0010 - Create redistribution

The redistribution is created in the system. A new document is created for each redistribution process. Default values are taken over from a central setup when the document is created.

REI-0020 - Edit redistribution

Central processing of the redistribution takes place in several steps. It begins with the definition of the redistribution parameters, for example for issuing stores: sell-through ratio less than and for receiving stores: sell-through ratio greater than, goods receipt before date, start or end date for calculating sell-through ratio. The item-colour combinations for which redistribution is to be carried out are then defined. This can be done manually, but also via a retrieve function with filters. Next, the issuing and receiving locations are retrieved or defined manually. In principle, each location can be both issuing and receiving. This depends on the individual sell-through ratio at item-colour level. If the sell-through ratio is not specified, the goods can also be concentrated specifically on individual stores, for example outlets or bargain shops. In the further processing, the stock to be issued and the possible receipt based on the specified parameters, redistribution proposal, are determined. The proposals can be edited in the intermediate steps and, if necessary, adjusted manually, for example by splitting larger redistributions or swapping the receiving stores.

REI-0030 - Release redistribution

The generated or edited redistribution proposals are accepted by the processor at headquarters and transferred to the stores for processing by release for scanning. Scan requests are created that are to be processed individually by the stores. One scan request is created for each combination of issuing and receiving store. Several items can be contained in each scan request with reference to the respective redistribution document.

Outgoing processes:

• REP - Store Redistribution Processing

REI-0040 - Monitor status

During the processing of redistribution instructions in the stores, the status of the redistribution process is monitored. Through processing, the stores log whether the request was printed, scanning was started, or scanning, meaning processing, was completed. The overall progress can be tracked in the statistical information and the scan requests of the redistribution document.

Incoming processes:

• REP - Store Redistribution Processing

REI-0050 - Complete redistribution

After completion of the activities in the stores, the redistribution is also completed in the system and the redistribution process is thus ended.
