Inventory Location

The Inventory application includes a Locations feature, which lets you track inventory stored at different locations in your firm.

The location feature is in Inventory > Transactions > Location Moves, in the desktop application.

It is not necessary to use the Location feature. If you do use it, the locations you define depend on how formally your firm designates and refers to the places where it keeps its inventory items.

Examples of location types are warehouses, office locations, company locations, closets, shelves, bins, and aisles.

To enable the Locations feature, select the Allow Modify of Locations option on the Inventory tab of Settings > Purchasing & Inventory > Company. The Default in Location for Inventory Transactions option becomes active. Select this option to cause DPS to put the item's Default Location in the Location field.

If you clear the Allow Modify of Locations option, you must set up one default location on the Inventory tab.

DPS uses these steps to determine a company's default location:

• The item's Default Location, if any, on the Inventory tab of Settings > Purchasing & Inventory > Items Master.
• The Defaults/Location on the Inventory tab of Settings > Purchasing & Inventory > Company.
