Ordering products from multiple warehouses

The multi-warehouses functionality of iMIS allows you to order individual products from multiple warehouse locations using the Product Detail window. This is a useful feature when the default warehouse has insufficient inventory to fill product orders.

The following are the requirements for ordering from multiple warehouse locations:

  • The Enable Multi-Warehouses option must be enabled on the Inventory System Setup window (from Orders, select Set up module, and click Inventory).
  • Multiple warehouse locations must be defined for the product on the Warehouses window (from Orders, select Manage inventory > Manage products, select from the list of Current Products, and click Warehouses).
  • Each warehouse location must have sufficient inventory to fill an order.
