Backup Warehouses

opentaps allows you to configure backup warehouses, so that during Material Resources Planning, if a part is out of stock in the main warehouse, the system will automatically create inventory transfers from a backup warehouse to fulfill the shortfall. You can configure as many backup warehouses as you need and create purchase orders which are shipped to the backup warehouses, then receive inventory into them, and transfer inventory from them to a main warehouse or another backup warehouse. Your backup warehouses could be owned by your company or by one of your suppliers. If it is owned by a supplier, the general ledger will account for the cost of the inventory when it is transferred.
