How to set default warehouse for specific transactions

[jiawen_wei]

Hi Experts:

We are in the process of setting up a new warehouse for purchasing processes.  This new warehouse will be the only receiving warehouse for all POs.  The original warehouse (main warehouse) will be the only source for the sales transactions.

We need to find a way to:

-- Define the new warehouse as the default warehouse for Item Purchasing

-- Define the original warehouse as the default warehouse for Item Sales

-- Block the use of the new warehouse on Sales Order/Delivery,

We have explored the Warehouse set up under Item Master Data, however, the "set default warehouse" option will apply to ALL transactions.  Thus we cannot work with this.

Please share any thoughts.

Thanks.

Hi,

You are right. "Set default warehouse" option will apply to ALL transactions. This is by system design.

Work around could be by user defaults if you can limit users for default warehouse to assign. That will override general default.

Thanks Gordon,

So is it safe to say that we cannot specify default warehouse for PO/SO directly?   Do we have the option to block certain warehouse to be used on sales order?

Each user will be working with these 2 warehouse closely, one warehouse used for PO and one warehouse used for SO.  I guess user default might not be sufficient.

That is right. "we cannot specify default warehouse for PO/SO directly".

To block those wrongly selected, you may use one of existing SAP tool: SP TN.

Search the forum first to find related info.

You can use FMS to default warehouse based on transaction type, and SP_TN to block wrong warehouse selection.

Thanks~

What exactly is SP_TN?  I have never used this tool before for our business one implementation.  Is there any helpful documentation for learning?

Store procedure transactions notification.

This is standard way to put extra logic check at SQL level.
