Link two geographically related stockrooms to create a distribution channel and make the distribution of assets more efficient. You can assign a preference order for each channel to source assets to the stockroom.

Role required: inventory_admin

## Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

A stockroom can have distribution channels with the following functions:

* Inbound: The distribution channel is used to source assets from the linked stockroom.
* Outbound: The distribution channel is used to transfer assets to the linked stockroom.
