The Surplus Only box can be used to Filter branches with surplus stock. Surplus is overstock. Total Rate is how many they use per month.
Do NOT use another branch as a primary source. Each branch must maintain their own adequate inventory levels. Do NOT expect another branch to carry excess inventory. We use transfers to ease overstock problems.
Alleviating another branch’s overstock situation is helpful. The shipping branch is to pay the freight to the requesting branch since they are overstocked, and they can reduce their Marginal inventory benefiting them on their P&L. Increasing profits in any branch helps everyone with the contributions to the profit-sharing plan.
