Abstract
A method and system for adjusting product store order quantities when a retail store is moving a replenishment source from a current distribution center to a new distribution center. The method determines a last delivery date for a last product order from the current distribution center to be placed prior to a product replenishment source change date, and a first delivery date for a first product order from the new distribution center to be placed following the product replenishment source change date; and compares the two delivery dates to determine which delivery will occur first. When the first delivery date for new distribution center predates the last delivery date for the current distribution center, the last product order from the current distribution center is suspended. When the last delivery date for the current distribution center predates the first delivery date for the new distribution center, the quantity of product associated with the last product order from the current distribution center is increased to avoid a product deficiency at the retail store.
