# Core Workflow

{% hint style="info" %}
**Quick Answer:** The core replenishment workflow walks you through four steps — Create a Plan, Manage & Review, Add Constraints, and Generate Orders — to turn your forecast data into purchase orders.
{% endhint %}

## What Is the Core Workflow?

**The core replenishment workflow is the heart of Moselle's inventory planning.** It connects forecasting to procurement through a simple four-step process that takes you from demand signal to automated purchase orders.

Moselle's replenishment system connects forecasting to procurement through a simple four-step workflow:

1. **Create a Plan** — Generate a replenishment or allocation plan from your forecast, specifying coverage periods and key parameters
2. **Manage & Review** — Adjust order quantities and review Mo's AI-powered suggestions in the interactive planning table
3. **Add Constraints** — Define service levels, lead times, minimum order quantities, and other business constraints
4. **Generate Orders** — Automatically create purchase orders for at-risk inventory based on your plan

This workflow ensures that your inventory levels stay optimal, critical items are never at risk, and procurement is efficient and predictable.

**Who Should Use This:** All Moselle users. This is the primary path for creating and executing replenishment plans.

**Time Required:** 15–30 minutes for your first plan; faster as you build familiarity.

## The Four Steps

{% step %}

### Step 1: Create a Replenishment or Allocation Plan

Link a forecast scenario, set a coverage period, choose a plan type, and configure product scope and frequency.

[Create a Replenishment or Allocation Plan](/planning-and-execution/replenishment/core-workflow/create-a-production-plan.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 2: Manage Your Production Plan

Open the plan, review Mo's buy recommendations, surface at-risk items, and edit quantities as needed.

[Manage Your Production Plan](/planning-and-execution/replenishment/core-workflow/production-planning.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 3: Add Your Constraints

Set MOQ, min/max stock levels, and lead times for your SKUs or product groups. These shape Mo's recommendations to match your real supplier realities.

{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 4: Generate Orders

When the plan is ready, generate purchase orders — either via Mo (which groups by supplier and sets delivery dates automatically) or using the Generate Purchase Orders button.
