Keep VMI bin stock replenished before it runs out

Every hour during business hours, WebRun opens DDI Inform, checks scanned bin counts against each customer's min and max levels, drafts replenishment order lines for any bin at or below its reorder point, and posts the route rep a prioritized restock list in Slack before the next delivery run.

In short

How do I automatically catch VMI bins before they run out of stock?

WebRun checks DDI Inform every hour for VMI bins at customer sites that have fallen to or below their reorder point. It drafts a replenishment order line for each one directly in DDI Inform, leaves it unreleased for a buyer to approve, and posts the route rep a prioritized Slack list so restocks happen before a bin runs dry.

  • Bins at zero on hand get caught within the hour, not on the next scheduled route
  • Replenishment lines are drafted and ready before the buyer's morning review
  • Route reps start each run with a ranked restock list instead of a raw bin report

Questions, answered

Will it submit the replenishment orders to vendors on its own?

No. WebRun only drafts the replenishment lines inside DDI Inform and leaves them unreleased. A buyer still reviews and releases every order before it goes anywhere.

How does it decide which bins come first?

It ranks bins by how far below their reorder point they sit, so bins already at zero on hand jump to the top of the route rep's list.

What if a bin was already restocked on today's route?

It reads the live scan count in DDI Inform each hour, so any bin already topped off drops off the list automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
