Setup considerations
Location
The relevant locations have to be created and set up as a warehouse location.
The field Location is a Warehouse on the Location card has to be set to True.
See more details here: Location.
Replenishment Setup
One warehouse location has to be set up as default warehouse location on the Replen. Setup. page in the field Default Central Warehouse.
All stores will be replenished from this warehouse unless defined differently in the Replen. From Warehouse page.
See more details here: Warehouse.
Replenishment rules for non default warehouses
For the non default warehouses, explicit definitions need to be set up, which store will be replenished by which warehouse for which items. This is analyzed in detail in the Item Flow step.

The used Replenishment Templates need to have the value One Purchase Order per Vendor or One Purchase Order per Vendor with Cross Docking set up in the field Purchase Order Type.
