The complete Store Stock Redistribution process is done in the following steps:
The Redist. Preview calculation is based on a calculated Replenishment Item Quantity table. In a first step, the Redist. Demand and Redist. Stock is calculated for every item, variant, and location. This calculation uses the selected Redist. Calculation Type to determine Redist. Demand and Redist. Stock. Next, the result is saved in the Redistribution Stock Quantity (RSQ) table on item, variant, and location level. The Redist. Preview holds this information on item level, the Redist. Preview Line on item and variant level. Only locations that are set up in the Redist. Matrix are considered in the RSQ calculation.

- Click the
icon, enter Redistribution Replenishment Journal, and select the relevant link. - Click the Functions action, then click Add Items to Journal/Preview to open the Add Items to Redist. Journal report. The filters and some setup fields from the Replenishment Template will be shown in this report.

For calculation types other than Manual Redistribution, if the field Create Journal Lines in the Replenishment Template is set to Create Redist.
