Some organisations use pickfaces so that less-than-full-pallet product being picked is always picked from that product's assigned pickface.
To support organisations that need to replenish into pickfaces, locations can be configured as pickfaces.
Pickfaces have properties that allow users to indicate the product that sits in the pickface location, as well as minimum and target quantities of that product for the pickface.
This information can then be used to run a replenishment report so users can manually replenish items into the pickface.
Set a location as a pickface
To nominate a location as a pickface:
- Navigate to the warehouse using the Organisation menu in Consignly
- Select a warehouse and find the location you wish to configure as a pickface
- Enable the pickface location by toggling the switch and configuring the pickface's:
- Product
- Target Quantity
- Min Quantity
Product
Nominate the product that sits in this pickface location by searching and selecting the product from the list.
Target Quantity
The target quantity is the amount of items in the pickface that you desire to be there after a replenishment.
Min Quantity
The min quantity is the threshold of product at the pickface that will trigger the pickface to appear on a replenishment report.
When the quantity of product at this location sits below this quantity threshold, Consignly will surface the location up as requiring a replenishment.

Replenishing the pickface
To determine whether a pickface requires replenishment, visit the Reports menu.
Run the Pickface Replenishment report (ensure your organisation has granted your role access to this report).
Optionally choose:
- Warehouse
- Client
- Product
- Indicate to show pickfaces that require replenishment only
Consignly will present a report that shows you the pickfaces that require replenishment (or all pickfaces along with a status to indicate whether they require replenishment), along with how much product needs to be replenished into the pickface to meet the target quantity.
To replenish the pickface, complete a manual inventory transfer to move stock into each location.
