The Location tab is made up of two grids. The grid on the left lists the various storage locations within the warehouse. The grid on the right is tied to the location grid and lists various parts that are stored in a selected location.
Locations grid
This grid allows users to create locations within the warehouse. If there is more than one location in the warehouse they can specify which one is the default location. This is especially useful for mobile warehouses that are integrated with Work. If a default location is selected, then the system knows exactly where to pull the inventory from when a work order is created.
A sample of the grid appears below. Sort records in the grid by clicking on the headings. An up or down arrow (highlighted in orange below) will appear signifying ascending or descending order.
Double-click on an existing record to open it
Right-click in the grid to add a record
Right-click on an existing record to get a menu with options to View Record, Add Record, Edit Record, Delete Record, or Set As Default.
Set as Default - This sets the selected location as the default location. When parts are pulled from the warehouse they are pulled from the default location first.
Note: Users cannot delete a location from a warehouse if parts are associated with it or if it is a default location for any part.
Right click on the location in the grid and select Set as Default Location.
That location will now have "yes" next to it under the Default Location column.
Note: There can only be one default location per warehouse.
Parts grid
This grid displays the parts stored at the location selected in the Locations grid. It provides a count of parts, and allows users to adjust quantities and enter inventory counts.
