Setting Up PeopleSoft Inventory Structure Tables
To define item storage codes, use the Item Storage Codes (STORAGE_CODES) component. To define storage location types, use the Storage Location Types (STOR_LOC_TYPE) component. To define backlog reason codes, use the Backlog Reason Code (BACKLOG_RSN_INV) component. To define item packaging codes, use the Item Packaging Codes (PACKAGING_CODES) component. To define quarantine codes, use the Inventory Status Types (QUARANTINE_CODES) component. To define storage rules, use the Storage Rules (STOR_INSTRUCTIONS) component.
PeopleSoft Inventory structure tables store inventory information and facilitate enterprise-wide management and reporting for inventory and materials management activities. You must set up these core tables before you can perform tasks such as putting away items or fulfilling stock requests. Enter at least one complete set of tables, then share them across business units as needed.

Use this page to define hold codes to be used during your business processes. Hold codes are used when:
Putting demand lines on hold on the Cancel/Hold Stock Request page.
Activating the Put on Hold option on the Inventory Definition - Business Unit Options: Shipping Options page.
Automatically applied by the system during Financial Sanctions Screening functions (FSS).
Using this page, you can define one or more hold codes to be used by the Financial Sanctions Screening function. For Inventory, only one hold code can be used automatically by the FSS process. Define the code here, and then add the default hold code to the Installation Options - Inventory page to enable the Screen for Denied Parties Process (SCM_FSS) to review material stock requests (MSRs) and automatically apply the hold code to any MSR that fails to pass screening. A hold code prevents an MSR from shipping. You can manually add or remove a hold code from an MSR using the Cancel/Hold Stock Requests page.
