Chapter 45: Creating Item Warehouse/Locations (MIWL)
Purpose: Use the Create Item Warehouse/Location function to create or change an item’s primary location in the item’s primary warehouse. Item warehouse records identify the items that are stored in the warehouse. Item location records identify the items that are stored in each location.
This menu option provides a quick method of assigning an item to a primary location in its primary warehouse, or changing information about an existing primary location in the item’s primary warehouse.
• The warehouse must be assigned as the Primary warehouse for the item in the item file (MITM), to create or change item location information using this menu option.
• The location where the item is being assigned must be a valid location for the warehouse. The following item location information can be changed: location code, location minimum, location maximum, item cube value and item weight.

Locations are defined in and validated against the Location file. See Chapter 43: Creating and Maintaining Locations (WLOC). Alphanumeric, 7 positions; required. |
Loc min (Location minimum) |
The minimum quantity of the item that should be on hand in the location. See Replenish Primary Locations Overview for more information on how the system uses this field during primary location replenishment.

See Chapter 43: Creating and Maintaining Locations (WLOC). Numeric, 7 positions; optional. |
Loc max (Location maximum) |

2. Enter the minimum and maximum amounts for the item in this location in the Loc min and Loc max fields. If the primary location information appears in these fields, type over the existing information if the minimum and maximum quantities for the new primary location differ. The existing location information will not be affected. Leave these fields 'as is' if the minimum and maximum amounts for the previous primary location and the new primary location are the same. These fields can be left blank if the minimum and maximum quantities for the item location are unknown.
3. To change the item's cube value, enter the new value in the Cube field. The SKU file will be updated with the new information.
4. To change the item's weight, enter the new weight in the Weight field. The SKU file will be updated with the new weight.
To change item primary location information:
1. For an item/SKU location, type the minimum and maximum amounts in the Loc min and Loc max fields. If location information appears in these fields, type over the existing information to change the minimum and maximum quantities.
2. To change the item's cubing value, enter the new value in the Cube field. The SKU file will be updated with the new information.
