Product Site Clarifacation on What the Logic is

Question

Hello, am wondering if someone can explain the logic behind Product Site Default Location setup? Problem: Snap shot above is how we are picking our apparel for replenish to work, but I don't think it's setup right 100%. Does anyone have any expierence setting up product flow in Sage that is somewhat like picking replenish able products. We have a pick face that we store apparel from and replenish from an overflow location. It works on most product but there's a few that it allocates from the storage location which is something we don't want to do. This is a bat signal question to anyone that can help.

Hi Brian Nelson 
 The default location, set on the product-site record, works in conjunction with the stock receipt and issue rule set on the product category (or product category site if any). 
 
 The location category (Stock, picking, workstation, etc.) is linked to a stock transaction. 
 
 For receipt: to default the location

For issue: to use the location as a criteria to select the stock to issue / allocate

For the issue, to take into account the location category 1 in the allocation rule / stock determination rule, you need to have the following setup (See in Yellow for the rule used upon deliveries) 
 
 So if you end-up allocating stock in the storage: you have 
 
 either set the incorrect location type / location in the product-site record 
 or set the incorrect location category in the issue rule for the related movement (See example on delivery):

Or set an allocation rule that is not limited to 1 location category

If you have identified a product that was allocated from the storage location, please provide a screenshot of: 
 
 Related Product-site record > Tab management 
 Related Product category (category-site of any) record > Tab Issue flow 
 Related allocation and issue rule setup (GESTRU)
