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.
