How to: Set Up Sourcing Locations

A sourcing location is a store, vendor, or warehouse that can receive a customer order. Setting up a sourcing location for a store is required to be able to perform customer orders from that store.

To set up sourcing locations for a store

1. Navigate LS Retail - BackOffice - Store Management - Stores.
2. Select the store you want to be able to perform customer orders from, and open its Store card.
3. On the Navigate action menu, the Customer Order group, click Sourcing Locations.
4. Click New to generate a new line.
5. In the Sourcing Location field, click the arrow and select a value from the list.
6. Enter a day value (for example 1D, 1W or 1Y) in the Lead Time Calculation field. The value represents the time it takes for the sourcing location to transfer order items to the original store.
7. Enter a value in the Priority field. The store with the highest priority (the lowest number, f. ex. "1") will receive and process orders to ship.
8. Select the Will Ship Orders check box, if this store is able to ship orders.
9. Select the Orders Can Be Collected check box, if a customer can collect an order from this location.
10. Repeat step 4 to 9, depending on how many sourcing locations are needed for the store.
