Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What does the Vendor/Retailer Location Priority page do?

This page lets you assign a default fulfillment warehouse to specific retailers so that incoming orders are automatically assigned to the correct location.

When do changes to this page take effect?

Once saved, all future shipments created for the selected retailer will automatically default to the assigned location. Existing or previously created shipments will not be affected.

What value should I enter for Priority?

For almost all standard setups, leave the Priority set to 0. This establishes the location as the primary default warehouse.

When should I use a priority value other than 0?

You should only adjust the priority setting if your organization uses Inventory-Based Routing. In those setups, priority numbers (e.g., 0, 1, 2) dictate the order in which multiple warehouses are evaluated based on stock availability before routing the shipment.
