Hi Shrenik So you have:
- Store A (webstore) -> associated with facility 1 (webstore facility), - Store B (retailstore) -> associated with facility 2 (retailstore facility). You might consider defining a new requirementMethodEnumId that: - triggers a stock move/transfer request from the webstore facility to the retailstore facility when the inventory in the retailstore facility falls below the threshold And create the appropriate function for this.
