Hello guys!
I hope you can help with this deployment issue we're facing. The scenario comprises a plant that is configured to push all inventory to warehouse 1, which in turn will resupply warehouse 2 with a pull relationship. p -> w1 -> w2. When there's not enough supply to fulfill the full requirements for both warehouse 1 and warehouse 2, what is happening during deployment is that warehouse 1 will still send the full quantity that was in the STR to warehouse 2 but will either dip into it's safety stock to accomplish it or even short (so the deployment quantity generated to the end location will not even be realistic.) Do you know if this is a bug, or if we're missing something in the config that will have deployment consider the inventory needs of warehouse 1, and will send less than what warehouse 2 requires when there's not enough inventory and receipts in warehouse 1 to fill both demands?
