Topic: Using stock from other locations
|
| By: Guest | Posted on: Jun 30 2025 at 12:57:34 PM | I have 2 problems I am trying to solve:
(1) I have Warehouse1 and Warehouse2 as locations. I have moved all stock on the MRP that is physically in our second warehouse to Warehouse2. But now, all Customer Orders are still pulling info from Warehouse1 which is putting my "Available" into a minus despite it being available in Warehouse2.
I tried to make a copy of the order onto Warehouse2 but each time I try it automatically puts it into Warehouse1. Meaning that there is no point in keeping a second location as all the stock would not be read by the MRP or processed without a manual stock transfer into Warehouse1 again. How do I make secondary locations useable?
(2) A customer has placed an order on call-off over 6 months. This is something that happens a lot with other customers too. I wanted to allocate stock to this customers order so that we don't inadvertently use it for other orders. I know you can allocate stock to Works Orders, but can you do it for Customer Orders too? In theory I could make a new assembly for each order I receive but that seems excessive. Again, this is something I could do by making another “Location” for “Call-Off Orders” and keep stock there, but that leads me back to the problem in (1).

But as I said earlier, that will only work for Assemblies when they are to be built. And afterwards they would need to be manually moved to Warehouse1 for them to be dispatched on the Customer Order. I feel like there is a way to do this but I am lost. | |

So even though I opened another tab, selected Warehouse2, and made a new customer order from there it still put it into Warehouse1. So it works as long as all tabs are closed first. | |
