Big Ambitions Warehouse, Import and Delivery Guide

Direct answer

A working supply chain links a warehouse with pallet storage, an assigned vehicle and driver, a Purchasing Agent who controls an importer contract, and a Logistics Manager who creates routes to your stores. Configure the chain in that order, then diagnose failed deliveries from the importer toward the destination rather than changing every setting at once.

1. Prepare the warehouse, storage and driver bay

Start by opening a warehouse business and installing pallet shelving for incoming boxes. Traffic index is not presented as relevant to warehouse operation, so choose the building primarily for its usable space, driver-bay arrangement and the scale of stock you intend to hold. Leave enough free storage for the next import instead of filling every position with existing goods.

A delivery route also needs a vehicle physically assigned to the warehouse and a delivery driver assigned to that vehicle in BizMan. Vehicle choice, driver eligibility, warehouse bays and Logistics Manager skill all affect the available delivery network. Because the supplied guides disagree on some exact vehicle thresholds, verify the requirement shown by your current game rather than relying on a fixed table.

Open the building as a warehouse business.
Install pallet shelving before ordering stock.
Reserve free capacity for incoming boxes.
Park and assign a delivery vehicle at the warehouse.
Place an eligible delivery driver in the vehicle slot.
Check the current in-game vehicle requirement.

2. Create the importer contract and stock rule

Set up a headquarters workstation with a desk, chair and computer, recruit a Purchasing Agent, and assign that employee to the workstation. Contact an importer that carries the required product, select the agent as contract handler, and then open the agent’s contract panel in BizMan. A Purchasing Agent handles one importer contract at a time, so additional importers require separately assigned agents.

Choose the products, enter quantities as individual goods rather than boxes, select the designated warehouse and choose the available one-time or automatic replenishment behavior. Confirm the order after checking its displayed total, minimum-order condition and next-delivery information. With target-based replenishment, the system compares warehouse stock with the target when the order is processed and buys only the required difference.

Give the Purchasing Agent a complete computer workstation.
Link the agent to the correct importer.
Remember that one agent handles one importer contract.
Enter product units, not box counts.
Select a warehouse for every ordered product.
Review the minimum order and displayed delivery information.
Press the order control to activate the configuration.

3. Connect the Logistics Manager and destinations

Give a Logistics Manager another headquarters workstation and assign the employee through the schedule. Open that manager in the headquarters panel, replace the unassigned state with the correct warehouse, and verify that its driver slots show both vehicles and drivers. The guides describe one Logistics Manager connection per warehouse, so a manager linked elsewhere cannot control this warehouse’s routes.

Add each destination store and configure a minimum stock level for the products it can receive. The route attempts to restore the destination toward that minimum using goods available in the warehouse; it cannot move stock that is absent. A product may only appear when the destination has the relevant selling equipment, and the destination also needs enough shelf space for delivered boxes.

Provide a separate computer workstation for the manager.
Assign the Logistics Manager in the headquarters schedule.
Link the manager to the intended warehouse.
Confirm that every active bay shows a vehicle and driver.
Add stores as destinations.
Set practical minimum stock levels per product.
Provide suitable selling equipment and storage at the destination.

4. Warehouse not delivering: ordered checks

First determine which half failed. If the goods never entered the warehouse, inspect the Purchasing Agent and importer contract before touching routes: confirm the order was activated, a destination warehouse was selected, the order met the importer’s minimum, sufficient money was available when it was processed, no backorder blocked the product, and pallet capacity was free. Import orders may be cancelled as a whole rather than partially filled.

If stock reached the warehouse, continue downstream in order. Confirm that the Logistics Manager is scheduled and linked to this warehouse, the intended destination exists, a vehicle and eligible driver occupy the displayed bay, and the warehouse has the routed item. Then inspect the destination’s minimum stock, eligible product list and free shelf capacity. Finally, remember that route capacity depends on the complete vehicle-driver-manager setup; remove an unnecessary destination or improve that setup if the interface reports no available destination capacity.

Check whether the goods ever entered the warehouse.
Verify contract activation and designated warehouse.
Check minimum order, funds, backorders and pallet space.
Confirm the Logistics Manager’s schedule and warehouse link.
Verify the destination, vehicle and eligible driver.
Check warehouse stock and destination minimum settings.
Check destination product eligibility, shelf space and route capacity.

Frequently asked questions

Why was my import order not delivered to the warehouse?

Confirm that the order was activated, its designated warehouse was selected, the importer’s minimum was met, sufficient funds and pallet capacity existed when processing occurred, and the product was not blocked by a backorder. A failed condition can cancel the complete order.

Why is an item missing from a store’s delivery list?

The destination may need the relevant appliance or furniture that enables that product to be sold. Confirm that the store supports the item and has suitable storage before rebuilding the route.

How many destinations can one warehouse serve?

There is no single reliable number for every setup. Available destinations depend on the warehouse’s bays, assigned vehicles, driver eligibility and Logistics Manager skill, so use the capacity displayed for the complete setup in your current version.
