Purge Empty Item Locations (PITL)

Purpose: Use this option to purge Item Location records that have zero:

• on-hand quantity

• pending transaction quantity

• printed quantity

You need to specify the warehouse where empty item locations should be deleted. In addition, the prompt screen allows you to specify the number of days since placement date. For example, if you specify 45 days, only item locations whose placement dates were more than 45 days ago and which match all the other criteria will be deleted.

Even if the purge deletes the item location record, it is possible that the item/SKU has this warehouse and location identified in the SKU table as the “primary primary” location. The record in the SKU table is not cleared by this purge.

Note: Ordinarily, the system automatically deletes all item locations when the above quantities are zero, except in the case of primary locations.
