Question on replacements?

I am playing with full attrition which says units must be on a depot to receive replacements. I also allow AI to handle purchasing replacements at 15% of hits outstanding.
I have Longstreet's Corp sitting, last turn, in Richmond in passive stance. I cant tell that any replacements were received. Is it possible that the AI auto replacement thing isn't working correctly?
If I am in the process of filling newly recruited units, does this take up men normally used as replacements?
Trying to understand how this works as I am having a hard time bringing battered units back to full strength.

No.

It is supposed to work, but if the demand is great, 15% may sometimes be too small, so you have to manually select replacements.
Post a screenshot of the F2 screen, and we'll see if any replacements are selected?

This must be it. I manually selected some Infantry and Cavalry for replacements and the next turn I could tell that Longstreet"s Corp obviously received replacements. Its hard to tell though as the replacement screen never shows the number of replacements you have.

It does show number of replacements - it is the number below nato symbol

Yes, If I click manually. If just left to auto...nothing.
