Vendor Managed Inventory
The Onventis VMI module enables the supplier to monitor current stock levels, receipts and issues of materials relevant to MRP, and to automatically generate order proposals for the customer. The results of the planning run from the customer’s ERP system (Material Resource Planning; “MRP”) serve as the basis for all calculations.
Functionalities of the VMI module:
Current inventory and demand forecast based on the transmitted ERP planning data for customers and suppliers
Presentation of fixed and planned inflows and outflows on the customer and supplier side
Notification of the suppliers and the responsible purchasing groups of the customer if the defined reorder points are not reached.
Automatic generation of order proposals for the supplier on the basis of the stock and requirements forecast
For the use of the module, the interface for the import of planning data from external systems is required.
