This article will outline the process that PWB follows when processing ingredients orders
Background
Under the PWB performance model, partners will have the costs for ingredients covered by PWB in order to fulfil customer orders. These ingredient orders will be placed according to a predetermined schedule and will be generated by PWB based on sales projections.
How does PWB create ingredients orders
Your ingredients orders will follow a predetermined weekly schedule that will be outlined by PWB during your onboarding process. For a reminder of this schedule, or to request an amendment to this schedule, please contact our customer support via the partner portal.
PWB uses the Bill of Materials function within Apicbase to forecast the ingredients that you require in order to service PWB customer orders for two weeks.
This process has 3 steps:
- Calculates the total ingredients required from your sales data for the last two weeks
- Determines the ingredients that you require by deducting the ingredients that are in your stock inventory from those that are required
- Creates an order basket with the extra ingredients that are required on top of your stock inventory
This order forecast is heavily dependent on the accuracy of your stock inventory within Apicbase, this inventory can be amended in the following ways:
- Ordering more stock
- Fulfilling customer orders
- Logging wastage
