Entering an order for a CDC-sourced branch warehouse

Use these steps to enter a Stock Order (SO) to be processed by the central distribution center (CDC) for a branch warehouse.

You must complete the prerequisites for implementing a CDC. See the information about setting up a central distribution center.

Select Sales > Order > Entry.
On the Initiate Order view, select the customer ship to that is assigned to a branch warehouse. If there is no ship to, select the customer record. These field values are updated automatically:

Warehouse

This is the warehouse assigned to the customer or ship to’s home warehouse record in Product Warehouse Description Setup as the Central Distribution Center Warehouse.

Sales Warehouse

This the home warehouse assigned to the Customer Setup or Customer Ship To Setup record.

Central Distribution Center

Defaulted as Assigned. This indicates this is a CDC order.

Note: To override this, select Not Set. This disregards the CDC warehouse assignment and fulfills the order from inventory in the sales warehouse. This may be preferred when you have the requested item in the sales warehouse and don’t want it shipped from the CDC. The CDC stages are not applied to the order when the Central Distribution Center status is Not Set.
Select Stock Order in the Order Type field.
Complete the remaining fields on the page and then click Next.
Add line items and complete the order.

Note: The Net Available for each item on the order reflects the amount available in the CDC warehouse.
