The SOI can be activated with the ability to systemically reserve inventory and transfer it to a local store/warehouse for delivery. This feature is activated with an SOI system setting labeled “Enable Transfer From” in System Settings > Channels > SOI.
For each SOI sales channel you want to activate, select Yes in the Enabled drop-down. Also assign a default Shipping Method for each channel.
Once an SOI channel has been activated with the Enable Transfer From function system setting, a "Transfer From" radio button option is available in the SOI Order Items box. When the radio button is selected, a drop-down of warehouses that have unassigned units of the requested SKU(s) is available for selection. A warehouse must be selected to complete the order. Inventory is not assigned to the order at this time because it must be transferred to the default warehouse for final delivery, which is done in the Order Manager.
Warehouse Access
The list of available warehouses per user login is dictated by the user account location hierarchy assignment. Location hierarchy assignments can be used to limit access to other location inventory for transfers.
The warehouse list does not include the SOI's default warehouse based on the fact that the transfer function assumes you are moving inventory to the default warehouse from another.
