We just went live a few months ago, so still learning a lot.

The struggle we are facing in our DC is that we have a primary pick location for each sku. We have automated replenishment filling the primaries based a set min qty.

Lets say we have sku A with a min qty of 400 in the primary pick location with a master case having 60 units per box. So each primary will have several unopened cases plus a partial cases.

Filling small order and replen is fine.

When we are filling bigger orders for lets say 910 units. It consumes everything in the primary and grabs a partial from a non-primary. Then partial cases is left in the non-primary and I need to refill the entire primary 

Is there a way for an order of 910 units. To grab 15 full cases of 60 units from a non-primary location and get the remaining 10 from the primary?

There is an Acumatica idea to add this that you can vote on 

For now, you could write a GI that identifies when an order exceeds the location minimum and maybe create a business event automation around that.

Hi ​@chese79 

It’s a common issue within distribution companies. You definitely can manually change proposed locations on the Shipment Line Details, but to automate this process and perfectly fit your needs, you may consider customization.
