Siebel Field Service Guide > Cycle Counting and Replenishment > Inventory Screen > Inventory Locations ViewThe Inventory Locations view sets the cycle counting parameters for each location. Table 109 describes items in Inventory Locations records. To see these fields, click the More Info view tab. Product Inventory ViewThe Product Inventory view associates inventory locations with products and sets quantities of product, whether the product is serialized, and cycle counting parameters for the product at this location. Products are specified in the Administration - Product screen. For more information, see Administration - Product Screen. Table 110 describes items in Product Inventory records. Generate Orders ViewThe Generate Orders view automatically produces orders to restock products in inventory, by either an internal transfer between inventory locations or by purchase from an outside vendor. For replenishment, an inventory level must be defined for a product. For replenishment from a vendor, the authorized vendor must also be defined. These read-only records are derived from data in the Inventory screen. For more information, see Inventory Screen. The Order button and command runs the Replenishment Engine and create purchase and internal orders to replenish all items at the selected location that are below minimum. The replenishment process describes a source inventory location to replenish a selected location and a target location to be replenished from the selected location. Specific relationships between locations are defined in the Relationships view. For more information, see Relationships View. Source Locations SubviewThe Source Locations subview lists valid replenishment sources for the related target locations. The Order button creates internal orders to replenish the related target locations (in the Target Locations subview). Target Locations SubviewThe Target Locations subview lists target locations lists locations to be replenished from a related source location. The Order button creates internal orders to replenish the target locations. Pending Orders ViewThe Pending Orders view lists internal orders or purchase orders that have been placed to replenish a location. The records in this view, generated by the Replenishment Engine, are read-only. For a discussion of replenishment, see Replenishment Engine. Vendors ViewThe Vendors view records vendors who may supply products for a selected inventory location. For replenishing a location from an outside source, vendors must be specified. Relationships ViewThe Relationships view records the relationships of a selected inventory location with other inventory locations. If a business uses more than one inventory location, relationships among inventory locations are useful for automating inventory replenishment and order fulfillment. A relationship may be physical, hierarchical (for example, a shelf belongs to an aisle), or logistical (for example, Fulfills or Replenishes). Cycle Counts ViewThe Cycle Counts view sets specifications that the Cycle Counting Engine uses to automatically generate the cycle count lists. To reach this view, choose Cycle Counts from the Visibility filter. The Inventory Locations view is the same as previously described, with the addition of a Generate Counts button and a Generate Counts (All Locations) command. For more information, see Inventory Locations View. Table 111 describes commands and buttons in the Inventory Locations view for Cycle Count records.
More Info SubviewThe Cycle Counts view has a More Info subview containing the following items specific to cycle counting (Table 112). These fields are read-only. Cycle Counts SubviewThe Cycle Counts subview contains read-only records that are derived from the data recorded in the Cycle Counts view. For more information, see Cycle Counts View. Table 113 describes fields in the Cycle Counts subview.
