Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Warehouse Organization process is a system utility in iDempiere Core that changes or verifies the organization ownership of a warehouse and its dependent entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is used in multi-organization retail deployments where warehouses must be reassigned between organizations during restructuring, acquisitions, or store network changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running the process updates Locator, Storage, Storage Reservation, and Accounting Schema linkage, which directly affects inventory transactions and financial reporting accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Organization and Warehouse fields are mandatory to run the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The process updates Organization on Warehouse, Locator, Storage, and Storage Reservation records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Accounting Schema linkage tied to the warehouse is reviewed during execution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Run as Job executes the process in the background instead of immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The process can be re-run to verify existing organization assignments without side effects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Only Active organizations and warehouses are available for selection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The result grid lists every dependent entity affected by the ownership change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Organization configured under General Rules \u2192 Organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Warehouse and Locators configured for the client.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Accounting Schema assigned to the target Organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • User role has access rights to the source and target Organization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Configuration Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Step 1: Select the Organization<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      This defines which organization will own the warehouse and its dependent records once the process runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Open the Organization dropdown and select the target organization, for example Central Retail Org, that should own the warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Organization<\/td>Central Retail Org<\/td>Organization that will own the warehouse and dependent records.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      Step 2: Select the Warehouse<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      This identifies the warehouse whose ownership will be changed or verified against the selected organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Open the Warehouse dropdown and choose the warehouse to process, for example Central Distribution Warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Warehouse<\/td>Central Distribution Warehouse<\/td>Warehouse whose organization ownership is set or verified.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      Step 3: Choose Run as Job (Optional)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      This determines whether the process executes immediately or runs asynchronously as a background job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Leave unchecked for immediate execution, or check the box to run the process as a scheduled background job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Run as Job<\/td>Unchecked<\/td>Runs the process immediately instead of as a background job.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      Step 4: Execute and Review Results<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Running the process applies the organization change and returns a result grid confirming which entities were updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Click OK to execute. Review the result grid listing each affected entity before closing the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      Field<\/strong><\/td>Count of records<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Warehouse<\/td>1<\/td>Confirms the warehouse organization was changed or verified.<\/td><\/tr>
