If the Item Replenishment Grade Code is smaller than or equal to the Store Replenishment Grade Code, the Item will be automatically replenished. Example: For an Item with the Replenishment Grade Code D and Store Replenishment Grade Code B, the Item will be automatically replenished in that particular store. Items with the Grade Code D should be replenished for all stores with the Grade Codes A, B, C and D. | Assigning Items to Store Using Grades |
