Distributing a PO Across Warehouses
Split an inbound PO across fulfillment centers by stock balance or sales share — with earmarks that pass through to FBA.
What you'll need
A PO headed to a multi-FC network (e.g. ShipBob). The Distribution tab on the PO computes the split; the WRO you create receives at one FC and ShipBob distributes onward.
Calculating a split
1. Open the PO's Distribution tab and click Calculate Split.
2. Choose the mode:
• Balance to stock — level every location to the same days-of-cover, counting what each already has. Surplus at one FC means it receives less now.
• Sales share — split proportionally to each location's recent sales velocity over the window you set (e.g. 30 days).
3. Review the per-warehouse quantities; you can override "Qty to distribute" per location.
Reading "have X → ends at Y"
Each destination row shows its current position and where the split leaves it: "have 120 → ends at 470" means the location holds 120 (on hand + inbound) and keeps 350 from this PO. This makes the consequence of every split visible before you commit.
Earmarks to Amazon FBA
Units destined for FBA are earmarked: the receiving FC accepts the full amount, and the earmarked units pass through onward via a redistribution transfer rather than being counted as that FC's stock. The row shows the pass-through explicitly ("has 80 → ends at 200" on the FBA line), so pooled planning stays honest.
Notes
• "Even split (no history)" appears when a SKU has no sales history to weight by.
• "Some items use aggregate velocity" means new SKUs borrowed the network's overall pattern.
• The split informs the WRO plan and subsequent transfers — recalculate after editing quantities.
