The replenishment algorithm of the Sterling Warehouse Management System is configured to replenish locations in the forward pick zones from bulk zones whenever the inventory is removed.
If bulk zones cannot satisfy the entire demand, you can configure the algorithm to search for inventory from inbound shipments that are in a particular state.
