Setting Up Location Types for Inventories

You set up inventory location types to designate the different kinds of locations for inventory. Users can select these inventory location types in the Type field in the Inventory Locations view of the Inventory screen. Examples of inventory location types include Aisle, Trunk, and Virtual. For more information about the fields for inventory location types that are used in cycle counting, see Defining Configuration Parameters for Inventory Location Types.

Caution: Do not delete inventory location types, inventory levels, or inventory transaction types because the associated Row_IDs provide values for other tables in inventory. To change or replace these entries, modify the List of Values (LOV) for the entry, and then update (do not delete and re-add) the entry.

This task is a step in Process of Administering Service Inventories.

To set up an inventory location type

1. Navigate to the Administration - Service screen, then the Inventory Administration view.

2. In the Inventory Location Types view, create a new inventory location type record, and complete the fields as appropriate.
