Acumatica Warehouse Management FAQ
How do you set a default warehouse for a branch in Acumatica?
Default warehouses in Acumatica are configured per branch on the Branches screen, where you assign a default warehouse that new sales orders, purchase orders, and inventory transactions for that branch use unless overridden. This is standard configuration within Acumatica's warehouse setup, typically handled during implementation alongside broader branch and warehouse structure decisions.
