Create replenishment work when a supervisor should review the demand or choose specific products and quantities. Review existing stock and open jobs before creating more work.

## Before you begin

Your role must allow replenishment job creation. Set up eligible bulk stock, pick faces, capacity and product restrictions. Products marked On pre-order are excluded from new replenishment work.

## Review demand before creating work

Use **Generate from Demand** when a supervisor should review or adjust every suggested quantity before jobs are created.

1. Go to the **Replenishment dashboard** and select **Generate from Demand**.
2. Choose **Pending orders to review**: **100 orders** (the default), **500 orders**, **1,000 orders** or **All pending orders**.
3. Under **Target after demand**, choose **Location minimum** or **Location maximum**. If a location has no maximum, the maximum option uses its minimum. Select **Exclude held orders** if held orders should be left out; they are included by default.
4. Select **Review** to start the background scan. You can close the dialog and continue working; reopen it to recover the review and its results.
5. Check the snapshot time and coverage counts, then review **Actionable** and **Needs attention**. Compare demand, pick-face stock, open work, capacity and available bulk stock for each line.
6. Adjust **Reviewed qty** to a whole number where needed. Enter `0` to leave a suggestion out.
7. Select **Create this page** to create the positive, uncreated lines on the visible page, up to 50 lines. Review the result, then repeat for other pages you want to create.

**All pending orders** supports up to 20,000 eligible orders. A review that exceeds this or the plan-size limit fails explicitly; choose a smaller scope. A **Subset** is not a review of every eligible pending order. Snapshot orders that have changed or been removed when scanned are excluded and counted separately, and orders arriving after the snapshot are outside that review.

If you change the scope, target or held-order choice, restore the reviewed choices or run **Review** again before creating work. Failed or cancelled reviews cannot create jobs. If a creation result is unconfirmed, use **Retry creation** to resolve the same saved batch and quantities before making another change.

WMS can cap a suggestion when the pick face does not have enough capacity or there is not enough available bulk stock. It checks current stock, capacity, product compatibility, and source allocation again when you create the jobs, because warehouse activity may have changed since the preview loaded.

Running demand generation again does not duplicate or reprioritise open work that already covers the demand.

Use this before a high-volume picking run to ensure pick faces are stocked before pickers start. This is particularly useful for:

* End-of-day waves
* Flash sales or promotions
* Any time you have more demand than current pick-face stock can satisfy

## Create manual replenishments

Use **Manual Replenishment** to create jobs for specific products, destinations and quantities before a busy period.

1. Open the **Replenishment dashboard** and select **Manual Replenishment**.
2. Add one or more replenishment lines:
   * Product (searchable dropdown)
   * Destination location (pick faces only)
   * Quantity to replenish
   * Priority
3. Select **Create Replenishments**.
4. Review the created jobs and any lines that could not be fully allocated before gathering stock.

The destination selector puts pick faces holding or explicitly allowing the product under **For this product**, followed by **Other available pick faces**. Check the on-hand stock, inbound quantity and remaining capacity. Full destinations appear disabled under **Unavailable pick faces**.

Rules that apply:

* SKU restrictions are enforced on destination locations — if a pick face is locked to specific SKUs, only those can be replenished to it.
* Quantities are validated and rounded to integers before submission.

## Verify the created jobs

Review created and failed lines, their source allocations, destination and quantity. Reopen an unconfirmed saved creation result and use its supported retry before submitting a new plan. Then [complete the replenishment jobs](/articles/14700000000089-complete-wms-replenishment-jobs) and verify destination stock.
