Locations

The Warehouse module displays the Locations of divisions within the warehouse where the parts reside.

If more than one location exists within a warehouse, you can specify which location is the Default Location for the warehouse. This functionality is especially useful for mobile warehouses that are integrated with the Work program. If a Default Location is selected, the system knows exactly where to pull the inventory from when a Work Order is created.

The Warehouse Inventory > Warehouses > Locations grid displays all of the locations within a warehouse and the quantity of parts that are present.

In the Warehouse Inventory > Warehouses module, click the to expand the Warehouse record to which you want to add a Location.

Enter a Location ID. This is required and must be unique.
Enter a Location Desc. (required) with a brief description of the location.

If this is the first Location record in the grid, the record will be marked as Default Location upon saving.
Click Save . The new Location appears in the grid.
Repeat this record creation process to identify each location where parts will be stored within this Warehouse.
Note: A Locations cannot be deleted from a Warehouse if Parts are associated with it or if it serves as a Default Location for any Part.

Click OK to proceed. The tool runs and sets the selected record as the default location. A check mark appears in the Default Location box next to the record that is the default location.

Loc ID **	Specifies the user-defined ID for the location.
Loc Rec #	Displays the system-generated, unique ID for the record.
Location Desc.	Provides a brief description of the warehouse location.
Default Location	Determines which location to draw the part from. Users can set this option through the Warehouse module through the following methods: If the warehouse has only one location, the system will automatically mark this record as Default. The default location can be changed by using the Set as Default toolkit in this grid. A Default Location will operate differently depending on settings in Work Options > Parts: If the Always use Parts Default Location option is turned on, parts pulled from the warehouse are pulled from the default location's inventory first even if the Default Location becomes negative. If Force disbursal from mobile warehouses option is also turned on, the system will see if the part exists in the mobile warehouse first. If the part that is being used on a Work Order exists at more than one location at that rolling warehouse, the default checkbox determines which location to draw the part from.
Loc Barcode	Provides the alpha-numeric string barcode that identifies a part that is stored in a warehouse. Used by the Lucity Mobile Warehouse app Carried over to Parts Transaction Staging records containing Parts from this Location.
