Consumption vs. Order
Understand the core principle behind repleno: consumption tracking, demand, and ordering are separate steps so replenishment can be triggered before a stockout occurs.
In repleno, a withdrawal is just a withdrawal. It records consumption, not an order.
Why this separation matters
In the usual workflow, orders are placed when someone notices that stock is running low. In practice, this happens too late or not at all.
repleno separates the two steps: a withdrawal updates the stock level in the system. The system then checks against defined rules whether a demand exists. It is not the withdrawal that triggers demand, but the current stock level in combination with the configured reorder point or minimum stock.
The system does not forget.
What follows from this
- Team members record material movements.
- repleno updates the stock level.
- The system checks whether stock thresholds trigger a demand.
- Only then is the demand reported or translated into an order.
