Inventory Locations View
The Inventory Locations view sets the cycle counting parameters for each location. Table 107 describes items in Inventory Locations records. To see these fields, click the show more button in the More Info view.
Product Inventory Subview
The Product Inventory subview 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 Product Administration screen (see Product Administration Screen). Table 108 describes items in Product Inventory records.
Generate Orders View
The 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 (see Inventory Screen).
The Order button and command runs the Replenishment Engine and creates 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 (see Relationships View).
Source Locations Subview
The 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 Subview
The 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 View
The 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.
Vendors View
The 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 View
The 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).
