Next you will look at each component to determine which items is where. Ideally, because this customer lives in Arizona, we want to ship as much from Fresno as possible. 

If the stock is in Fresno, ignore it. We are looking for the item/s that are only in Adairsville.

 

The kit that we are mainly looking at is OP-PESS7MFT-MILO-G-CINK-K because this one, we only have the full complete kit in GA. However, after looking up each component, Fresno has all the items except for OP-COV-2ACC16-CINK.
