All products defined as
inventory require a holding location. A warehouse must exist before inventory
can be received or processed within Personify. A single product can be stored
in multiple warehouses and in multiple locations within a warehouse. When
inventory is received for a product, it is received into a specific warehouse
and bin or shelf. When shipping occurs, the inventory numbers are reduced from
the warehouse from which they were shipped.
Warehouses also have a priority
within a product. The warehouse with the lowest number priority greater than 0
will be the one used for fulfillment as long as there is inventory capable of
fulfilling the order. A warehouse with a priority 0 is considered a storage
warehouse only and no orders are fulfilled form that warehouse.
Products that are not
inventoried (such as custom print material, which is produced only when
ordered) are not required to have a warehouse. However, associating these
products with a warehouse will then generate a packing slip. A warehouse does
not need to be a physical shipping location/room. It also can be a “Print
Center” or “New Member Fulfillment Center” which may be someone’s office or desk.
