Recommended Purchase Order Module: Ability to review the Forecast WOS, Current inventory(Act),On order inventory(act),and GSU Plan(system & Adjusted)
Looking to expand the current selection of metrics/attributes available to Recommended Purchase Order Module in Assortment Planning. We have a workflow at our company where POs are reviewed by multiple people on the path to being sent to our ERP. First step is where the demand planner generates the receipts manually and creates a PO based on the current week's order need. The planning team is notified that this has been created for the week The planning team then reviews this recommended purchase order against metrics like our current available inventory, actual on order inventory, current Toolio forecast, and multiple WOS metrics that anchor on average sales from the last 12 months to the last 6 weeks. These metrics are not currently included in the RPO module so they must be examined outside of it. There are WOS metrics in the recommended purchase order module, but they do not account for actual on hand or on order, which leaves a gap in seeing the true total inventory WOS scope. After the review the planning team makes adjustments to the RPO and sends this to leadership. Leadership then does another review utilizing the same datapoints the planning team uses. They make additional changes where needed and then the process moves back to the planning team and includes the buying team as well. The planning and buying team then review any vendor constraints(Something we have already talked about adding in, such as container constraints that differ from established MOQs. Toolio can easily add new attributes into RPO creation so this is easier to implement). They finalize any last changes based on vendor constraints and then send off the Toolio PO to our ERP. This process is a hybrid of reviewing the PO in a saved state(keeping its ability to adjust receipts), over multiple days, and utilizing external metrics to justify the current need. While we can dig into AP line review, AP reporting, or use dashboards to review Toolio generated POs across modules we do not have visibility of the adjusted receipt units in RPO within the other modules
