Overview
The primary goal of Replenishment Optimization (RO) is to harness the replenishment
methods available in the clients replenishment system. To make best use of the available
replenishment capabilities, RO recommends optimized replenishment parameters at the
SKU/Location level. The recommendations take into account sales volume, volatility,
availability of forecast data, seasonality, client business rules and constraints, and
financial objectives to determine the optimized values.
Oracle Retail Replenishment Optimization automatically monitors Item/Location
demand and supply chain variables to determine optimal inventory for greatest return. It
recommends replenishment settings, either automatically approving the changes or
raising alerts, for example, alerting higher impact items. The optimal replenishment
settings recommended by Oracle Retail Replenishment Optimization may be used to
update Oracle Retail Merchandising System (RMS) replenishment parameters, Advanced
Inventory Planning parameters, or the retailers legacy replenishment system.
The automated management of replenishment settings based on Item/Location selling
characteristics ensures accurate replenishment and allows the user to focus on
maximizing profit rather than the time consuming business of managing individual
Item/Location level replenishment.
Replenishment Optimization can help you address the following, which vary for every
client:
Reduce inventory
Increase turns

Oracle User Interface Standards
The Swan user interface is a set of user interface definitions designed by Oracle. These
interface definitions create a consistent interface for Oracle products and an improved
user interface for application users. The Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server client
has been updated to use the Swan color palette and fonts. In Oracle Retail
Replenishment Optimization, the following changes were made:
The default read-only grid background color has changed from gray to white.
The default writable grid background color changed from white to light blue.
This is a visible change to default read/write field colors for retailers upgrading from
versions of RPAS prior to 13.0.
