Connect User to Warehouses

Explanation

This activity is used to connect a user to a warehouse. If a user is connected to a warehouse this will affect the reserve and issue logic in the work order process.

Prerequisites

• At least one warehouse must exist on any of the sites to which the user is connected.

System Effects

• When reserving on a work order material line and when the user is connected to a default warehouse and the user is set as executed-by on the work order the system will try to reserve material on the default warehouse. If the user is connected to one or more warehouses but none of them are the default, then the automatic reservation will not work. The user can then reserve manually using the Reserve Manually dialog box, which is filtered on the user warehouses.
• When issuing on a work order material line and when the user is connected to a default warehouse the system will try to issue material on the default warehouse. If the user is connected to one or more warehouses but none of them are the default, then the automatic issue will not work. The automatic issue will also not work if the material line is reserved outside the default warehouse of the user. The user can then issue manually to the material line where it is reserved, using the Issue Manually dialog box, which is filtered on the user warehouses.
