In setup of a Location that will become a DC, we assign 1 or more inv orgs to the location.  However, on the Location setup there is optional field to associates Location to a Inv. org, it was mentioned in training course that by not assigning an inventory org to location there could be issues in procurement.  
Questions:
1. What might be the issue encountered, is it a defaulting values issue that would disrupted transaction flow, any ideas here?

2. When using this Location for a DC scenario which Inventory org should be used or does it even matter?

see https://apps2fusion.com/topic/1-what-is-oracle-erp-and-fusion-cloud/    at about 1:01:10  , there seems to be concern about Location being open to all org's which might not be ideal, but it would seem that that can be managed with data access controls, but there also seems to be mention of at time of Return.   The point of this question is when it comes to setup of a DC and this Inv org association to the DC Location.

1.The issue encountered by not assigning an inventory organization to a location could be related to defaulting values. When creating transactions such as procurement orders or inventory transfers, the system needs to know which inventory organization to associate with the location to properly manage inventory levels, stock movements, and transactional processes. Without this association, there might be confusion or errors in transaction flows, leading to inefficiencies or inaccuracies in inventory management.

2. When using this location for a Distribution Center (DC) scenario, the inventory organization assigned should ideally be the one that corresponds to the inventory operations managed within that distribution center. This could be a specific inventory organization dedicated to managing inventory at the DC, ensuring that all transactions related to receiving, storing, and distributing goods are accurately recorded and managed within the designated inventory boundaries. However, the specific inventory organization to use may depend on the organization's setup and requirements for managing inventory across different locations and business units.

Thanks for you great reply,  my concern is what to do when you have multiple inv orgs at one location.  From my understand, to make a facility location a DC, you use the same location assignment on 1 or more inv org's, so then, in the one location setup, if you have multiple inv orgs being associated with location, which inv org should be used for the location assignment?  If you select one, then how do you transactionally treat the of business units using that location for their inv org, or is this setup at the BU level and will allow a different inv org assignment within each BU?  Thanks again.
