The example scenarios  A  is as follows:


Scenario Description


1.Sell 3 x CPU3 from Shop1 to company BaconConsult (do not forget to confirm your sales order) and issue the goods to the customer. In the example below you can see the current stock level of CPU1 of 3 parts. This will reduce the stock in the shop from 3 PCE to 0 PCE which is below the minium stock level


2.Move the parts through the PUSH flow as defined in step1.  As adequate stocks exist for this order, parts will be able to be shipped to the customer immediately


3.Run the scheduler to replenish the stocks in the Shop1 stores Warehouse ‣ Schedulers ‣ Compute Schedulers


4.Then check the stock moves for product CPU1 from the menu Warehouse ‣ Traceability ‣ Stock Moves..

Step 4 – Move products from “Pack Zone” to “Gate A”

Step 5 – Move products from “Gate A” to “Customer”
