Multiple Shipping and Receiving Locations Preference
Use the Multiple Shipping and Receiving Locations preference to define the shipping and receiving locations to which the system assigns products. You also can activate or deactivate the locations that you define. If you activate the locations, the Multiple Shipping and Receiving Locations preference overrides the default location that is specified in the Branch/Plant Constants program (P41001).
For example, when you ship large quantities of products, warehouse personnel pick the products and place them at the appropriate docks so that drivers can load the products into trucks. When you receive products, you might require delivery drivers to deliver products to various locations. By defining all shipping and receiving locations that you might use, you can use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system to help you plan for the shipment and arrival of products.
If you do not agree with the locations to which the system assigns products, you can override the locations using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management system or the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system.
If you want to override the location using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management system, you can use the Requests Inquiry program (P4600) or you can use the Confirmation program (P4617).
If you want to override the location using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system, you can use the Work with Shipments program (P4915) or the Work With Loads program (P4960).
