Default Storage Dimensions

WATCH THE VIDEO

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations you can use site and warehouse for inventory management. They are used to track and manage the product's inventory indicating the place of their physical storage. You can set up site and warehouse for:

  • Customers

  • Products

  • Webshop

Customers

To set up site and warehouse for a customer, open the necessary customer and on the Sales order defaults FastTab, select Site and Warehouse.

Site and warehouse from the customer are used only:

  • If site and warehouse are not set as mandatory on the product.

  • If site and warehouse set for the webshop do not override those set for the customer.

Products

To set up site and warehouse for a product, open the necessary product and on the Manage Inventory tab, you can set up Default order settings.

To set up default order settings, open the Default order settings window. On the Sales order FastTab, you can select the sales site and the sales warehouse. You can also make the sales site and the sales warehouse mandatory for the product.

If you make the sales site and warehouse mandatory, they will override Site and Warehouse set on the Customers form and on the Webshops form. The mandatory site and warehouse set for the product are of highest priority.

Webshop
