Automatic replenishment is switched on per storage type, not per material — that is the part most people look for in the wrong place.
Fixed bin assignment plus minimum and maximum quantities — without them the strategy has nothing to trigger on.
One thing, though — your symptom points elsewhere.
Automatic replenishment fires at warehouse task confirmation, not while a picker is standing at the bin. A bin that runs dry mid-pick is direct replenishment: strategy 4, triggered by bin denial, through an exception code mapped to internal process code REPLENISHMENT.
What surrounds the flow — integration, quality, and everything that is not a step in the process itself.
