Assign a Default Warehouse to a Ship-To Address

If the Inventory Management module is installed and multiple warehouses are used, goods can be ordered from a specific warehouse by default based on the customer ship-to address. The default ship-to address warehouse overrides the warehouse, if any, selected to appear by default on the Sales Order Entry and S/O Invoice Data Entry Header tab.

If an inventory item has a default warehouse associated with it as specified in the Inventory Management Item Maintenance window, the default item warehouse overrides the default ship-to address warehouse on the Sales Order Entry and S/O Invoice Data Entry Lines tab.

Before You Begin

A default warehouse can be assigned to a ship-to address only if the Require Multiple Warehouses check box is selected in the Inventory Management Options window.
