Audience: Suppliers using Warehouse Manager Beta
 

Note: Your experience may vary based on your configuration.
 

Warehouse Manager Beta provides a central location for you to set up warehouses with address details, calendars, holidays, and contacts. These details can help you manage inventory allotment based on locations and schedules, as well as align expectations with your retailer trading partners of when items can be fulfilled. Warehouses you add will be referenced within your inventory submissions to Rithum and are viewed and used by your connected trading partners.

Warehouse details may be used as an input to advanced delivery features that your retailer trading partner is utilizing as well as in Rithum’s Dynamic SLA (DSLA) functionality for measuring partner performance. For more information about timezones and the operating calendar as it impacts performance monitoring, see Getting started with performance management.

Note: If your retailer has adopted advanced delivery functionality, you may be required to provide supported carriers or information about how you want to produce ship labels.
