Locations

The Product Locations Screen is only available if multi-location stock control is enabled (see Inventory Setup). It displays information about your stock holdings at each stock location for the selected item. Use this to maintain multiple inventory levels in warehouses or in technician’s vans.

To add a location select a location from the dropdown and click the button.

To remove a location select a location from the dropdown and click the button. The Remove All and Add All Locations buttons will add/remove all locations which exist in the locations code table. Note: You cannot remove a location unless the on hand quantity in that location is zero.

Hint: You do not need to add locations to an item in order to order in stock for specific items. You can choose any location when ordering in stock and the location will automatically be added to the products list of locations when the ordered items are received.

A product location is any place you need to account for stock including a bin location, a warehouse or a technicians van.

The quantity of stock available at that location. You can vary the quantity of stock by simply editing the On Hand quantity (not possible for serialised inventory). To move existing stock between locations use the Adjust tab.

Note: When adding or removing stock the average cost of the location will be used as costing for each part. This will cause problems when entering parts for the first time - as there is no existing average cost calculated yet. When first adding parts to a location we recommend using the Receive/Issue tab or a Purchase Order which allow specific setting of the cost at which to receive the parts in.
