REDIST_WH_IND

Hi All,

Can any one explain me the use of  REDIST_WH_IND on warehouse screen ?

From data model

Indicates that the warehouse is a 'Re-Distribution' warehouse. Used as a location on Purchase Orders in place of actual locations that are unknown at the time of Purchase Order creation and approval. This value allows the Redistribution Report to identify orders requiring redistribution. A Warehouse with this indicator will not be limited in any RMS transactions. Valid values are 'Y' or 'N'.But my question Is when we are creating a purchase order we are entering the location.How REDIST_WH_IND this indiactor will used?ThanksMani.
