Sequencing a store establishes an ordered list of locations in a store at which items can be stocked, and ordered lists of the items within each location. The list of locations is the macro sequence. Each list of items within a location is a micro sequence. These sequences allow you to identify all the locations of any item in the store.
Within each location, you can add and remove items or resequence the items at that location. You can add and remove items and locations as needed.You can build sequences by assigning items to locations, or by assigning locations to items.
Sequencing can improve the efficiency of store processes such as stock counts. You can use guided stock counts in which employees are guided in order through the locations and items, one after another.
