Creating a Purchase Order for a Warehouse

Go to Expenses > Invoices and P.O.s to open the purchase order window as shown below:

All detail lines of a purchase order that contain inventory items must contain a Warehouse setting. The Warehouse has no affect on the expense invoice if an inventory Item ID is not used.

EXAMPLE:  The Warehouse setting is not required when entering an electrical bill since no inventory is being processed. Miscellaneous expenses are not posted to a department based on the warehouse setting. Non-inventory expenses should be allocated to a particular department or profit center based on the general ledger account rather than the warehouse setting.

The Warehouse setting will default to the Default Warehouse setting found in Inventory > Options > Warehouses tab. The Warehouse cannot be changed if the Financials > Options > Settings > Set Department in Invoice option is enabled. Review the Multiple Inventory Location Management > Creating New Locations section for more details if the Warehouse cannot be changed.

Create multiple detail lines for the same item if the purchases are distributed to multiple warehouses. See the garden rake example shown above.
