If a product has only one primary location and the product currently in that location has a type of Review, the system still directs you to put away the product in the primary location. The system assigns the product you are currently putting away the type of Stock to distinguish it from the review-type product. Most Recent Put Away Location - The system directs you to put away product in the youngest location holding the product.
