Rebuy & Replenishment

Required datasets for Rebuy & Replenishment in the UiPath Merchandising solution, including product, location, stock, sales, and hierarchy data.

This page describes the customer data required for Rebuy & Replenishment, part of the UiPath Merchandising solution. For details on how to connect and ingest data into the Peak platform, see Data ingestion.

The Rebuy & Replenishment capability of the UiPath Merchandising solution relies on customer-provided data to generate inventory insights and recommendations. This data represents business information that already exists in the customer's enterprise systems, such as sales, products, inventory positions, and planning parameters.

Data is integrated into the solution during onboarding. The specific data sources, formats, and ingestion methods depend on the customer environment and are configured outside the scope of this guide.

Datasets for Rebuy & Replenishment

Rebuy & Replenishment is designed for retail environments selling to end consumers. Note the following about its data requirements:

  • Demand history is provided as aggregated sales rather than order-line customer orders.
  • A products parent child mapping dataset captures product hierarchies and substitutions (for example, size or colour variants).
  • Manufacturing orders and forecast datasets are not part of these requirements.
