Sales Warehouse

The Sales Warehouse feature credits the sale of an order to the originating warehouse when the order is created for a different warehouse, such as a distribution center. You can use this feature when stock is unavailable in the originating warehouse, but want to update the originating warehouse’s sales totals for the transaction.

The Sales Warehouse feature is activated in SA Administrator Options-Documents-Sales Orders- Entry Settings. You can then select these other options:

• Override Division # Default of the Order: This option enables you to post to the general ledger by sales warehouse division during invoice processing. If a sales warehouse is specified on the order, the sales warehouse division overrides the default division that is specified in SA Administrator Options.

  During invoice processing, the sales warehouse division on the order is used to find the non- inventory general ledger accounts. If you do not use divisionalized accounting, your account numbers must include an asterisk, or wild card, to use the sales warehouse division number from the order.

• Store in Sales Manager Data: This option enables you to merge the order data by sales warehouse into Sales Manager files. Data is merged when you run the Sales Entry Invoice Processing Report or the Sales Entry Sales Manager Update Report.

  The sales warehouse data replaces the order warehouse data in the levels that are selected by warehouse in SA Administrator Options-Sales History-Levels. The data loaded by sales warehouse does not include Sales by Vendor levels.

• Allow Central Distribution Center (CDC): This option expands upon the existing Sales Warehouse feature to automate central distribution center order fulfillment for all warehouses, including TWL-managed warehouses. A CDC warehouse is assigned to each sales warehouse in Product Warehouse Description Setup. The CDC and sales warehouses are defaulted on orders for customer’s and ship to’s assigned to a sales warehouse that is affiliated with a CDC.

If the Sales Warehouse feature is activated but the options are not selected, you can specify the sales warehouse on sales order. To track the sales warehouse credits, use the SM Sales Analysis Report or your own reporting mechanisms.

At the operator level, the Sales Warehouse feature is controlled in SA Operator Setup-Entry Options. If Yes is selected in the Allow Entry of Sales Warehouse field on your operator record, you can specify a sales warehouse on new orders in Sales Order Entry or Sales Blanket Release Entry.

If you use the SalesOrder BOD to transmit orders, you can send sales warehouse values in the BOD if you enable the SalesWhse field for Level 1 Extra Fields data in SA ION Noun Setup.
