Handling Multiple Warehouses

Handle multiple warehouses within sku.io and streamline fulfillments.

Manually update the warehouse in a Sales Order

• After a Sales Order is created, update the fulfillment warehouse.

1. In the Sales Order, search and select the View Detail under each item row.
2. Select Change from the Warehouse section 
3. Update the Warehouse and Save. The update affects all the units per item, all units will fulfill from the selected warehouse. 

Note: if the order was auto-fulfilled and awaiting tracking, reverse the fulfillment to update the warehouse.

There are several settings for warehouses that should be configured according to the business needs.
Access this Settings > Inventory > Warehouses

Set the Warehouse priorities

• Drag and drop to prioritize the warehouses from which the items will be fulfilled. This prioritization affects orders set to be fulfilled by a unique warehouse or split amongst two or more warehouses.
  

Prioritize warehouse location

• Select Prioritize Closest Warehouse to Customer
  This will select the warehouse closest to the customer even if inventory is out of stock and a farther warehouse holds inventory.
  Note: Enabling this overrides the warehouse priorities set.

Set orders to be split between warehouses with available inventory

• Select Allow Sales Order line to be automatically split across multiple warehouses
  Items would be separated within the warehouses according to these scenarios:

1. Order is assigned entirely to the first warehouse that has all items
2. Order is split between all warehouses that carry inventory
3. If a backorder is to be generated, it will be assigned to the last warehouse with available inventory.

Restrict fulfillment of an order to only one warehouse

• Select Never allow Sales Order to be split across multiple warehouses
  Items would be assigned to a warehouse according to these scenarios:

1. Order is assigned entirely to the first warehouse that has all items
2. If no warehouse has all the items, the order would be assigned to the top priority warehouse and backorders would be generated.

Restrict fulfillment exclusively to business or 3PL warehouses (not suppliers or FBA)

• Select Ignore supplier type
  This will ignore suppliers that allow dropship. This is enabled within the Supplier Warehouse section
  
• Select Ignore Amazon FBA type
  Applicable when Amazon FBA is enabled. The items in an Amazon FBA warehouse wouldn't be considered for orders that aren't created within Amazon.
