Redirect Supply

[Berbe]

Hello,

I have been trying to use the Redirect Supply ability to redirect Purchase units from my retail store to a Sales one from a new factory when moving production from an old factory:

• Production stops on old location
• I get 'red exclamation mark' messages because supply stopped in my retail stores
• I try to use the Redirect Supply ability on the Sales unit of my new factory where production started to link all previously mentioned retails stores Purchase units to it

However, I keep having a message saying that no suitable unit is to be found.
Am I doing something wrong?

Please try this solutoin:

Click on the "Redirect Supply" icon on your old factory's sales unit, instead of your new factory.

Thanks David for the help.

I noticed however that in some circumstances, not all the unlinked Purchase units are being re-linked to a new supply. I noticed this when I had several Purchase units in the same factory linked to the some dead supplies (the same one if I recall well).

Besides, having to go to the old Sales unit is kinda strange. What if it does not exist? That could happen when you switched production to something else (thus having the old sales unit affected to another product) or when you destroyed the factory altogether.
Your are then stuck.

Would not it be more logical to implement that (very interesting and practical!) capability on the new Sales unit, searching for every unlinked Purchase units for the same product?
