Remote Sourcing

The decision to allow remote sourcing is made at two levels: customer and item.  

For a sales order to be sourced remotely, both the customer and the item must be eligible for remote sourcing transactions.  

For customers, the decision to allow remote sourcing is made on the Customer Address Master File.  For items, the decision to allow remote sourcing is made on the Warehouse Balance File.  When determining the source for an order line, both the customer and each item being ordered are considered.  If either prohibits remote sourcing, the order line will not automatically be outsourced.  However, remote sourcing can still be done manually.
