IC> Maintenance> Location Maintenance
Summary
The system requires an IC location on all inventory transactions. Locations usually represent where the inventory items are stored. Examples of locations could be different warehouses and service trucks allowing you can track what items are in the warehouse versus on a specific truck. Location codes are generally not used for bin locations.
Inventory items are generally sorted and reported by location when a physical inventory is performed or during the reordering process. The user can select one location as the default location. This is the location that will be automatically added to an inventory item unless another location is selected.
Locations are not shared across the application. If you create a location in one module, that location will not appear on the Location Selection window of another module.
