Is it possible for stock to be consumed from multiple locations into the same Sales Order transaction, so e.g. An order for 10 items, get 5qty from UK and 5qty from FRANCE location? We want to implement Stock Allocation from multiple locations and also allow locations to pick from other locations if the location doesn't have enough stock to fulfill the order. Some items are serialised so serial number management is required.

You could fulfill the same line from different locations with multiple fulfillments. The lines can also be split on the sales order, so the same item appears multiple times in different locations.

You can expose the locaiton field at line level too and set different locations per line, but thats assuming the line is split up, if not the previous poster is correct, you can fulfill the same line from different locations.

Thanks for the responses. The current setup is that under Sales Order header > LOCATION there is only 1 option to choose and in most cases this is set to UK. In the previous ERP system there was the following option available: SO with 10qty ordered by a user. 5qty available in the main warehouse (UK) 5qty available in the regional location (e.g. France) The system was allowing a user to take some stock from ACS (UK) and some from France, for the same Item line. However, I want to find out if NetSuite would allow for taking stock from multiple locations for a single line?

It will allow you to do it but on the same line it will show you one location only, but when you create the item fulfilment you could create 1 for 5 in locaiton a and a second fulfilment for locaiton b - i have done it numerous times.
We used to have to do this when my old workplace supply chain manage implemented 3PL warehouses without actually doing any system testing or checks we had the right setup, he made an assumption that one order would only ever have 1 shipping location, realised it was a mistake and then resigned lol (and left everyone else to clean it up), so we had to do it like this for a while until we had a workable solution and integrations etc.
