Inventory Replenishment

Four models are offered for replenishment management that involve electronic exchange of data sharing. The models supported are:

    1. Continuous Replenishment (CRP/VMI)-where appropriate and there is value for this joint effort, DC movement and/or POS data will be made available through support of the EDI 852 and the 855 PO Acknowledgement transactions. The ASN is expected on all PO's.
    A Direct-Store-Delivery VMI program is also supported, prior approval is required.

    2. Co-managed Replenishment (Sharing of Forecast Projection and Movement): as Rite Aid E3 Trim manages replenishment, the E3 Forecast data will be made available on a weekly basis through support of the EDI 830 transaction and web-based Prescient and Forecast Exchange, as well as the 852 transaction on DC Inventory/Movement: Where applicable the PO Acknowledgements will be utilized. The ASN is expected on all PO's.

    3. Collaborative Planning Forecast and Replenishment (CPFR)-data sharing of the 830 and 852 data as well as access into Rite Aid's replenishment modeling system to enable collaboration. The ASN is expected on all PO's.
