Warehouse Setup (WHS) - General

  1. Specify this information:
    Address Code
    The address of the warehouse.
    Consignment Warehouse
    If this box is checked the warehouse is treated as a consignment warehouse. A consignment warehouse holds items for a customer or supplier for distribution purposes. For example, the items do not belong to your organization but you charge the customer or supplier a fee for holding and distributing their items. This is also used for duty free or bonded warehouses.

    Sales order lines are not automatically allocated to inventory in a warehouse if the warehouse is flagged as a consignment warehouse. Sales order lines can be manually allocated to goods in a consignment warehouse but only if the warehouse code is on the sales order line. If there is a different warehouse code on the sales order line it cannot be allocated to inventory in a consignment warehouse regardless of the setting of Warehouse Sequencing in Inventory Business Setup.

    Movement order lines can be allocated to locations in a consignment warehouse using both automatic and manual allocations.

    Default Carrier
    The carrier or supplier to be used as the default for this warehouse.
    Pick Lead Time
    Specifies the amount of lead time required for picking in this warehouse, shown as the number of pick lead time units.
    Pick Lead Time Unit
    Indicates the units of time to be used with the Pick Lead Time field for this warehouse. For example, days, weeks or months.

    The inventory can be counted on a random cyclic basis, rather than all items being counted in each inventory count. To set this up enter the number of times a year the Inventory is counted and the frequency that items are included in the count, as follows:

    • Inventory Count Cyclic Frequency

      The frequency that items are counted each year. For example, if the Inventory Counts Per Year field is set at 12, and this field is set at 4, the item is counted on every third inventory count.

    • Inventory Counts Per Year

      The number of times a year the inventory is counted.
