PO with different line Locations – what should Header Location be?

Hi everyone,

I’m working on Business Central Online v27 and I have a question regarding Purchase Order structure.

In a purchase document, I have two different lines, and each line uses a different Location Code (Location A and Location B). Since BC allows line-level location selection, the document posts correctly.

My question is:

What is the recommended practice for the Location Code on the Purchase Header when the lines use different locations? Should I leave the header Location Code empty, or choose one of the locations?

Additionally:

Could leaving the header empty cause any issue in inventory valuation or cost calculation?
Does the header Location Code affect Item Ledger Entries or costing in any way?

I want to ensure I'm following best practice and avoiding any unintended impact on costing and inventory valuation.

Thanks in advance for your insights!
