Ordering for Multiple Locations
Buyers have the ability to order items for multiple locations in a single Request. The Checkout functionality offers the Multi-location Order page where the buyer specifies quantity, delivery details, and notes for each location.
Buyers may either mass update details for all the Preferred Locations or provide individual specifications by location for quantity, date, and other information. The functionality thus provides efficiencies in batching orders for multiple locations in a single Request while offering flexibility in specifying order details.
