-**Note about preferred bulk stock location replenishment (only applies if you're using them!):** the pickfaces are replenished first from the preferred bulk locations as stated above. When the process moves onto replenishing the preferred bulk locations, the pickface replenishments haven't been finalised yet so the stock is still in the preferred bulk locations. This means that mSupply may well not generate many or any replenishments for the preferred bulk locations. So, when some or all of the pickface replenishments have been finalised simply click on the //Generate all replenishments// button again. mSupply will now see that the preferred bulk locations have less stock in them and replenishments will be generated as needed.+**Note about preferred bulk stock location replenishment (only applies if you're using them!):** the pickfaces are replenished first from the preferred bulk locations as stated above.
