Wholesale Decrease inventory

• The decrease inventory BPM allows the
  wholesaler/manufacturer to deal with inventory
  distributed over more than one location. The
  input parameters are ltproduct_idgt and
  ltquantitygt.
• The first activity is to locate the first
  position containing the product with quantity gt 0
• Then it is checked if the quantity available in
  that location is enough to fulfill the order
• if so the inventory is updated with the decreased
  quantity
• otherwise, the process begins a loop in which the
  quantity available in that position is completely
  decreased, and the process continues until a
  location is found which can fulfill the remainder
  and the process concludes.
• precondition TotalStock of a product is bigger
  than or equal to the requested amount.
