Receiving Products into Multiple Locations in a Manual Warehouse

When receiving items into your warehouse from a purchase order or work order, you can receive the items into several locations in your warehouse. Use split locations when you have more stock than can fit in one area in your warehouse.

For example, you order five boxes of notebook paper because your vendor is running a special. Your primary location is big enough to store only two boxes at a time. Identify a secondary location that can hold the remaining three boxes.

  1. From the Purchase menu, select Stock Receipt Entry to display the Initial Order Entry window.

  2. In the Branch field, enter the branch at which the purchase order originated.
