Updating Shipment LocationsUpdated a year ago
Overview
This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to update a shipment location in NetSuite. It is essential to follow location assignment rules once an order is approved. These rules include:
Location Assignment Rules:
- Priority Location Setting:
- Determine if a priority location is set. Follow existing settings or default rules accordingly.
- Ship Complete Status:
- Verify if the "Ship Complete" option is enabled or disabled as it affects location assignment.
- Logistics Order Type:
- Identify the Logistics Order Type (E-Commerce or Other) linked to the order to apply relevant rules.
- Stock Availability:
- Consider the availability of stock for items in the order to determine the appropriate location.
Step-by-Step Procedure for Updating NetSuite Location:
- From the Global Search, locate and open the order.
- Select the order to update, then click 'Edit' to make changes.
- Scroll to the line-item level details at the bottom of the order.
- Locate the 'Location' field on the left-hand side.
- Adjust the 'Location' field to designate the desired warehouse for shipping.
- Click 'Save' to confirm and complete the location update.
- Double-check the updated location for accuracy.
Note: If all rules are met, an Item Fulfillment is automatically generated with a 'Picked' status. Additionally, a Sales Order remains 'Pending Fulfillment' if any items are backordered. Orders may be split if the 'Ship Complete' option is unchecked.
