When the Automatic Location Assignment Configuration field is displayed on the sales order form, you can choose the configuration you want NetSuite to use when assigning locations.
For example, on a sales order for a business-to-business (B2B) customer, you might use a configuration designed for large volume sales orders. In such a configuration, rules might be set up so that larger warehouses with higher inventory quantities are assigned before smaller warehouses with less inventory.
The Automatic Location Assignment Configuration field might sometimes be hidden on the sales order form. In this case, the configuration can be set in one of the following ways:
- An administrator can set a default configuration for all sales order in a subsidiary.
- A script (SuiteScript) or workflow (SuiteFlow) can set the configuration.
Note
Even if you select a configuration on the sales order form, a script or workflow can be created that overrides the selected configuration.
