Setting Up and Managing Inventory Locations

Setting Up and Managing Inventory Locations

Locations are basically your Warehouse, if you have more than 1 Factory where Inventory is stored, then there would be several Locations.

Eg. :     Smith St Warehouse [Location]

              Brown St Warehouse [Location]

              Jones St Warehouse [Location]



Along with Locations, there are also placement locations, these are:
Zone
Aisle
Bay
Level
Position
                                                                                                                                                          

For example you could have your stock stored in:

Smith St Warehouse [Location]  >  Stock [Zone]  >  Aisle A [Aisle]  > Bay 3 [Bay]  >  Level 1 [Level]  >  LHS [position]

You could also simply locate your stock at the top tier of Smith St Warehouse [Location].
