Notice in the graphic above, the put-away algorithm is set to fill dedicated locations first. The SLG list is setup to scan in the following order: 040EA, 040BX, 040PL.

Item 03121 is dedicated to each pick location 040EA020 and case pick location 040BX004. Both each and box locations have capacity of EA = 100, so both locations have capacity.

When you receive 90 each of item 03121, QAD Warehousing first looks at location 040BX004 and fills 15. Next, it looks at location 040EA020 and fills 40. The excess is moved to reserve storage.

This effectively keeps the forward pick locations full and reduces replenishment activity.
