When a purchasing flow starts from a Purchase Requisition, the default remote warehouse added as the Destination Warehouse in the requisition line will be added to purchase order line’s Destination Warehouse when the requisition is converted to a purchase order in below both conversion flows:

  1. Purchase Requestion to Purchase Order
  2. Purchase Requisition to Request to Purchase Order

However, this default remote warehouse will not be added to Purchase Order line when a direct Request is converted to a Purchase Order.

For business processes that automatically create purchase requisitions using below mentioned system defined Requisitioners under mentioned conditions, default remote warehouse will be set to Destination Warehouse accordingly.
