Set Up Posting by Warehouse in Inventory Management

The multi-warehouse capability of the Inventory Management module allows the Inventory, Cost of Goods Sold, Adjustment, and Purchases Clearing accounts to be posted to the General Ledger module by warehouse. When a transaction is processed for the warehouse, the warehouse ID (segment value) is assigned to the general ledger account number to be posted.

Use this procedure to set up the system to post by warehouse.
