Replenishment - move stock from shelves to bins

The replenishment flow is useful when you have a backstock of inventory stored on shelves or other locations outside the Pio grid. All inventory must be available in the Pio app to use the Replenishment flow. 

The Replenishment option becomes available in the Housekeeping section after the min/max levels for inventory are added in the Pio Admin Inventory section. This must be configured by an Admin or Manager user.

A replenish list can be generated in two ways: by adding products automatically and adjusting with the +/--buttons, or by selecting the products from a list.

Product images for the selected products are shown on the left side of the screen. The white label in the corners indicates the quantity to pick from the shelves.

Select products to replenish from a list

A list of all products available for replenishing is located in the top right corner. Select the button 'XX products available' to get an overview of all SKUs with shelf stock that can be moved from shelves to bins. The list is generated based on the min/max levels set per SKU in the Admin section.

The product list contains details of the products, including the image, name, SKU, quantity to replenish, and the shelf location(s).

Tap the '+ Add' button to add a product to the replenishment list, or use the 'Add all products' button above the list.

When the replen list is ready, hit the 'Start replenishment' button. Fetch a trolley and a scanner together with the iPad to start the picking round.

Picking from shelves

The Pio app will be starting with the shelf location with the lowest number. The picking page shows the shelf location to pick from, and how many items to pick.

Hit 'Confirm' to continue to the next item or shelf location.

In the top menu, the picking progress keeps you informed on how many products are left to pick. The 'X products' button opens a modal where all the products in the picking list can be viewed.

Picking completed

When all items are picked, bring the trolley to a Pio Port to store the items, or select 'Do it later'. 

Continue later

By selecting 'Do it later' after completing the shelf pick round, you can leave the products on the trolley until the Port is ready to use for storing. When entering Housekeeping > Replenish the next time, the current Replenishment session must be continued and completed. 

It is not possible to start a new round of replenishment until the current one is completed.

Storing products in bins

Select the best-fit bin layout for the products you are storing. The Pio system will bring an empty compartment to store the items in.

If there isn't enough room to store all items in one compartment, adjust the quantity and continue storing in the next bin.

Complete the replenishing

When all picked items are stored in the grid, you are sent back to the Replenish start screen to create a new replenishment list.

Exit during storing

If a break is required during Storing the replenishment items, a warning will show on the screen. By selecting 'Exit' (best option), you can continue storing the remaining products later. 

When selecting 'Exit and Remove', the picked items on the trolley are outside Pio inventory and must be stored back on a shelf location or in a bin.
