Allocation & replenishment
Stock belongs where it can sell.
The first split follows store grade, size curve and capacity. Later refills use a model per style, with local overrides. Inspect quantities before approval.

An even split can miss demand.
Mid-market retailers run 10+ systems before merchmix. An old grade can leave stock where demand is weaker while another branch sells out.
Each store merits a considered quantity.
Grading, line-level review and transfers address different parts of the distribution job.
Grading
A revenue-by-size grid assigns locations to cells with buy grades. Outliers show a suggested position and reason before you use their grade in a split.

yukti proposes a move with affected products, stock and financial context. Simulate the estimated effect, then approve execution. Letting it run means acting within your rules.
Available units inform the destination.
Inventory supplies the stock position; size curves inform quantities. Approved allocations include store and warehouse transfers. Exports carry detailed or supplier-facing allocation data.
Allocation fits within core plus.
First-drop quantities and later refills share the execution workspace, with minimums, maximums and local overrides.
Questions, answered.
Can I change a recommended allocation?
Yes. Adjust line-level quantities, carry decisions and statuses before approval or fulfillment.
Can I test a different distribution first?
Yes. What-if scenarios preview quantities without immediately changing live allocations. Commit the approved decision afterward.
Can one store differ from the global rule?
Yes. Per-store overrides sit alongside global replenishment rules.
Can I export the result?
Yes. Export detailed allocation data or supplier-facing allocation files after review.
Real locations make allocation testable.
