If you’re viewing an assembly or an assembly component, you’ll see some additional metrics compared to the Replenishment tab for simple variants. This article explains what differences you can expect to see.

Replenishment tab for assemblies

Replenishment overview

In the Replenishment overview section, you’ll see the following changes:

Change

Field

Replaces

Description

Addition

Next to assemble

Replenishment

The assembly recommendation and date.

Inventory forecast

In the Inventory forecast section, you’ll see the following changes:

Change

Field

Replaces

Description

Addition

On assembly order

On purchase order

The total unreceived quantity on assembly orders with a status type ‘Active’.

Removal

PO cover

Forecast stock chart

The forecast stock chart is split into the following sections:

  • Component LT

  • Assembly time

  • Component DoS

For assemblies, the “Lost revenue” line is by assembly order date, rather than purchase order date.

You will also see a checkbox to “Show forecast for components”. If checked, a forecast stock chart for each of the assembly’s components is displayed below the assembly’s.

Ready time forecast

This section replaces the “Lead time forecast” section. It tells you how many assemblies you’re expected to receive, send and sell before all components can be replenished and used to build the finished goods.

Field

Description

Components lead time

The total lead time in days, taken from Replenishment, of the assembly’s components.

The lead time date range is also displayed.

Click the icon to display a popup with more information. You’ll see a table with two columns:

  • Component

  • Lead time

This data is taken from the “Components lead time” column in Replenishment.

Assembly time

The time to build the assembly, added to the “Components lead time” to calculate the total “Ready time” period.

RT opening stock

The number of units of stock at the beginning of the ready time period.

RT forecast sales

The number of units forecast to sell during the ready time period.

RT closing stock

The number of units of stock at the end of the ready time period.

Components days of stock forecast

This section replaces the “Days of stock forecast” section. It explains how many builds are required by the end of an assembly’s components’ days of stock.

Field

Description

Components days of stock

The total days of stock for the components, taken from Replenishment.

The days of stock date range is also displayed.

Click the icon to display a popup with more information. You’ll see a table with two columns:

  • Component

  • Days of stock

This data is taken from the “Components days of stock” column in Replenishment.

DoS opening stock

The number of units of stock at the beginning of days of stock period.

DoS forecast sales

The number of units forecast to sell during the days of stock period.

DoS closing stock

The number of units of stock at the end of the days of stock period.

Recommended assembly orders

This section is exclusive to assemblies. It displays the recommended production schedule, highlighting any constraints such as limited component inventory. Use this section to identify and understand the cause of any disruptions and to plan ahead.

On the top right of the section, you’ll see the assembly time and assembly cycle. Below that, you’ll see a table containing the following:

Column

Description

Recommended assembly order#

Matches the order numbers displayed in the “Forecast stock” chart.

To assemble

The number of units to assemble on the associated assembly order, with the total replenishment displayed beneath.

Start date

The recommended start date for the assembly order.

Details

A message explaining any limitations with the “to assemble” quantity.

Replenishment tab for assembly components

Replenishment overview

In the Replenishment overview section, you’ll see the following changes:

Change

Field

Replaces

Description

Addition

Current stock

Includes ‘in assemblies’

Inventory forecast

In the Inventory forecast section, you’ll see the following changes:

Change

Field

Description

Addition

On assembly out

The total number of units required to build unreceived parent assemblies (on assembly orders with a status type of ‘Active’).

This section displays how many units are committed to builds, so you can see how much inventory will be consumed by assemblies.

Forecast stock chart

The forecast stock chart is the same as for standard variants, but highlights when stock should be allocated to recommended assembly orders.

Recommended parent assembly orders

This section is exclusive to assembly components. It shows you how many units of the component are required to build parent assemblies on recommended assembly orders, split by assembly product.

The table displays:

Column

Description

Parent assembly

The parent’s assembly name.

Clicking the arrow will open the assembly parent’s details page in a new tab.

Start date

The recommended start date for the assembly order.

To assemble

The remaining number of units of the parent assembly to place an order for, with a total for each assembly SKU.

Component quantity

Number of units of the component required for the recommended assembly order, calculated as the to assemble figure multiplied by the components per assembly.

This quantity is displayed per order, as a total per assembly, and as an overall total.

Replenishment tab for subassemblies

If a variant is both a component and an assembly, the replenishment tab will use elements from both the assembly version and the component version.
