Default Staging Warehouse (E15)

Purpose: Use this screen to define the warehouse for the system to use when suggesting staging warehouse/location placement during PO Receipts.

Number field: Enter the warehouse code for the staging area where you keep PO receipts that are awaiting putaway. The warehouse code is a 3-position, numeric code that is defined in and validated against the Warehouse table.

Normally, you would define the staging warehouse to be non-allocatable and non-viewable in Order Entry.

Staging Warehouse/Location Placement

If you use staging warehouse/location placement, the system will suggest you place PO receipts in the staging warehouse. You must define locations in the Working with Default Warehouse Locations (WWDL) for the system to use in the suggest location placement process. Each default location has a specific type, such as bulk, primary, or in-transit. For example, if you receive a shipment that should be used to replenish an item's primary location, the system will suggest you place the stock in the default primary location in the staging warehouse. When you are ready to move the stock from the staging area to the actual primary location, you would process an additional transaction to register that the inventory is available in that location.

Leave this field blank if you wish to use the Standard Warehouse/Location Placement routine to suggest inventory placement during PO Receipts.
