The logistics manager dosen't work

[lhoshiny0604]

I hired a logistics manager to schedule it, but I keep getting a notification that the assigned store is out of stock.

Two likely issues: 1) You may need to increase the minimum stock amount. That is the amount the Logistics Manager will try to keep available at the store. So if you set the amount to 500, and your store already has 300, it will deliver 200.

2) The other possible issue is that you don't have enough storage shelves at your store to hold all the inventory you are trying to send to your store, so you keep running out.

How long does it usually take for the logistics manager to fill up the inventory?

And does the logistics manager work on weekends?

What I noticed is that the driver fills your store at midnight based on the value set by your logistics Manager. It seems to do it every day.
Also when you set your stock values, it does not only look at your storage shelf in the back of your store, but also what's already in your store. For example your cash register can hold 1000 paper bags, if you want to have some paper bags in your storage shelf you need to set the value to for example 1200. (if your have 2 cash registers even above 2000)

I also had some issues at the start to learn the correct ropes to handle my logistics manager :)

They make deliveries every night at midnight.

The logistics Managers are only in the office during the week, but deliveries still happen on the weekends.

Thank you. You've been very helpful :) I have one more question, is it possible to assign only one logistics manager per one warehouse? The one logistics can handle only 3 stores.

To increase the amount they can handle (from my experience) it depends on their training level, and the vehicle you have assigned. I have a 100% trained manager with a Freight Truck T1, and itll go to 8 destinations

Adding one thing to what Teemotwist33 said (which was exactly right), some warehouses also have slots for 2 vehicles. They still only require one Logistics Manager, but you can have two vehicles and two drivers and get twice as many locations!

You guys are geniuses! I have another question: when I open a new store, buying and arranging furniture is all I have to do? Isn't there a purchasing manager?

The Purchasing Agent is needed to bring inventory into a warehouse but is not needed specifically for each new store - you only need more if you need to make an additional contract with the importers on the pier.

You assign your Logistic Manager in your Headquarters by going to the scheduling tab. If you are there and there are no options, that means you haven't placed a desk/chair/computer for the employee to work.

There is potentially another issue. I had a problem with one store not getting restocked.
The store had 2 storage shelves so plenty of space for goods. Some goods would be delivered but not all.

Turned out one of the shelving units was bugged. After manually emptying the shelves one box was left that couldn't be interacted with. I had to pick up the shelf and destroy it. Everything worked fine after replacing the shelving unit.

I still don't understand why logistics coordinators can't pull from different warehouses. When you select another warehouse, it wipes the delivery schedules.

I was also having an issue where it appeared that stock was not being delivered from the warehouse to the business. It turns out that I didn't have enough storage space in the business. Once I added more storage shelves things began to appear.

The game does not tell you that all items cannot be delivered to a business. It should.. Maybe that is what the negative balance is supposed to mean in the warehouse inventory page, but I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.
