How do i set default warehouse for all items as i get this error while trying to create a sales order
“Delivery warehouse required for stock item 1_SE-COMPUTERKING-CK-SE-1”
I cannot find this setting in the new menu system and being a home based business i only need one warehouse :).

Default warehouse is set in the Item Master, in the Inventory Section.

Oh, yes, this is Per Item. I believe that it must be set per item. The easiest method would probably be to export the items with the import/export tool, set the warehouse for all items, and reupload.

The alternative would be to use customize form for ‘Sales Order Item’, and set the default value for the delivery warehouse there.

@cpurbaugh: How do you set the default value for the delivery warehouse while making sales order? I am not able to find this in the “customise form” option of the “Sales Order”.

Kindly advise. Thanks.

@Rushikesh

You can find Warehouse on Sales Order Item. So please customize the form for Sales Order Item, where you will need to edit Warehouse field and set a default value in the “Default” text box on the edit form.
