Can I slot every sku to a single location, with no restocking?
If you do not want separate forward and reserve areas, you must store all of each product in a single, reserved location. You can trick the program into doing this: You must provide an additional data field for the skus, Maximum Expected On-Hand Inventory, which tells the program how much space to reserve for each sku. Then, in describing the rack, set the time-per-restock to some impossibly large number, so that no reasonable solution could ever choose to restock. When you solve the problem, examine the result to see whether restocking was required; if so, you must increase the storage space.
