- You can set up a virtual warehouse for times when you need to modify a warehouse lead time to have more control over your supply chain.
- A virtual warehouse allows you to assign a longer or shorter lead time to the Fulfillment of some of your products.
- For products with different processing times, you can set up a new warehouse address from an existing warehouse to enable you to set the schedule for shipping your products.
- To set up a virtual warehouse, go to your “Warehouse Settings” in the Drop Down Menu of your “Settings” Tab on the Top Menu of Vendor Central. Select “Add a Direct Fulfillment Warehouse”.
- Use the same address as an existing warehouse but call it a different name. For example, if your original warehouse is called "WH1", call your new one "Virtual WH1".
- Determine the best lead time for your new virtual warehouse and use “Contact Us” and the Subject “Warehouse settings questions” to request confirmation of this new virtual warehouse lead time.
