awk to get lowest & store value from another file...
I have two files. One small stores and one with large stores like below...

Small-stores.txt
Code:
Store	Code	Excess Stock
K76	23812	17
K50	23812	6
K16	23812	4
K22	23812	3
K69	23812	3

K22	23814	3
K76	30002	4

K69	30002	2
K22	30002	1

Large-stores.txt

K71	30002	-1
K78	30002	-1
K87	30002	-3
k90	30002	-1

what i want to do is that, i want to transfer the excess stocks i have from small stores to large stores.

expected output...
Code:
Store	Code	Excess	Transfer-To Transfer-qty
K76	23812	17	k03	8
K50	23812	6	k53	6
K16	23812	4	k47	4
K22	23812	3	k15	3
K69	23812	3	null	null
K76	23813	10	k24	6
K50	23813	7	k03	3
K16	23813	6	k46	3
K69	23813	4	null	null
K22	23813	3	null	null
K69	23814	10	k44	6
K76	23814	6	k17	6
K16	23814	4	k90	4
K50	23814	4	k60	4
K22	23814	3	k30	3
K76	30002	4	k90	4
K16	30002	2	k87	2
K69	30002	2	k78	2
K22	30002	1	k71	1

To make it clear...
1. I want to get the biggest excess stock from small-stores.txt file and transfer it to smallest excess stocks in large-store.txt file. I can go up to positive 10 in excess stock in large-stores.txt file and minimize the excess stocks in small-stores.txt file to zero.
