How do I receive product to multiple locations?

If you use DigitBridge WMS and have location management enabled, you have the flexibility to split received inventory across multiple warehouse locations. This is especially useful for overflow, organizing by storage type, or optimizing pick paths. It also applies if you have a storeroom attached to your warehouse and wish to keep some items up front and some in the back.

Step 1: Follow the standard receive process

Before assigning multiple locations, you'll need to start by initiating a standard WMS receive.
Refer to the existing guide: How do I receive a P/O in WMS?

Follow that guide until you are at the point where you are entering the Receiving Qty and selecting a Receipt Location for an item. Then return to this guide.

Step 2: Receive the quantity into the first location

• In the Receiving Qty column, enter the number of units you want to receive into the first location.

• Click the pencil icon under Receipt Location for that row.

• Select the desired warehouse location.

• Click Confirm Receipt.

• Click Receive to submit that first partial receipt.

• If you wish to have each receive create its own P/O Receive record, close the P/O Receive Batch right away before receiving the rest of your order.
  • If not, leave the batch open.
  • Click here for instructions on batch closing for one or multiple P/O Receives.

Step 3: Re-enter the P/O Receive screen and continue receiving

• After confirming the first receipt, the P/O will remain open as long as all items have not yet been fully received.

• Return to P/O > P/O Receive.

• Enter the same P/O number again.

• The item will appear with the remaining quantity still available to receive (in the Waiting for Closing column).

• Repeat Step 2 for the next location and quantity.

• Continue this process until all inventory is received and allocated to the appropriate locations.

Creating the P/O Receives

There are two options here: if you wish for each process to create its own P/O Receive or if you wish for the entire P/O to go on a single P/O Receive.

Multiple P/O Receives

• After receiving your first set of items, close the P/O Receive Batch immediately. Do this with each receive you do. It will create one record per receive.

Single P/O Receive

• Hold off on closing the P/O Receive Batch until all items on the P/O have been received. Once you close the batch, a single record will be created.

The image below shows a single receive record with one item being received in multiple locations. It also shows two receive records (associated with the same P/O) detailing each receive process.
