This option is only available if the Procurement module is installed.

2. If no quantities are available in this location, the system proposes the last location in which quantities are available, based on the selected location.
3. If no quantities are available in any locations, the system proposes the location defined in Catalogue Item Procurement.

2. Hierarchy applied if Catalogue Item Procurement is not used

1. The system proposes the last location in which available quantities are found, based on the selected location.
