Storage Locations

The Storage Locations screen lists all product storage areas for a location; they can be created manually or imported via the CDP. Each location product must be assigned to a storage location from this list before it can be purchased or issued. Storages at a location are divided between the "Central" storage system and the non-central storages that can be linked to internal customers. Central storages receive stock from vendors and issue products to customers. Non-central storages are assigned to customers that receive stock from a central storage via the customer order process.

Closing methods are selected in this screen for each product type within each storage location. Closing methods determine the behavior of the "By Exception" functionality in the Inventory module. Each storage location can also be linked to a prep station in this screen.

Under the Products menu, click Storage Locations.
Select a Location from the drop-down. {Concepts Note}: If a location is linked to one or more Concepts, it will only be available if the current application user is linked to one or more of the same Concepts. If a location is not linked to any Concepts, it will be available to all users. See "Concepts" for more information.

Choose the Primary Closing Method for each product type to indicate how the application should update inventory "By Exception". For Cycle Inventory periods, this applies only to the products associated with the User Defined Category selected on the Post Calendar. For non-Cycle Inventory periods, this applies to all products.

Beginning – Blank physical quantity fields will be set to the quantity from the beginning of the post period.
Book – Blank physical quantity fields will be set to [Book – In Transit].
Last Count – Blank physical quantity fields will be set to the last physical quantity saved.
Zero – Blank physical quantity fields will be set to '0'.

Choose the Secondary Closing Method for each product type to indicate how the application should update inventory "By Exception" for the products NOT associated with the selected User Defined Category. (This is only applied during Cycle Inventory periods.)
Check Central Storage if this storage location is part of the central storage system. {Note}: All storage locations are considered part of Central Storage.

Notes: The Temp. Log is not functional at this time. The lower part of the screen displays the products for which this is the Primary Storage.
