Create Multiple New Subinventories and Locators Simultaneously

When creating a new inventory organization, you'll need to create multiple new subinventories and locators as part of your warehouse setup. If you have a large number of subinventories and locators to create, this can quickly become a tedious process. Now you can create multiple new subinventories, locators, item subinventory associations, and item locator associations using a file upload process directly from the Configure Subinventories task.

You'll now be able to access the new Create New Subinventories action by selecting it from the Actions menu on the Subinventories page.

  • Create subinventories
  • Create locators
  • Create item subinventory associations
  • Create item locator associations

Tips And Considerations

Now you can create multiple subinventory, locator, item subinventory associations, and item locator associations simultaneously without using existing subinventories by using CSV templates from the enhanced Redwood pages.

  • You can access this feature using the Manage Subinventories and Locators on Redesigned Pages opt-in feature in the Inventory Management functional area.
  • You can access this feature using the Configure Subinventories task from both the Inventory Management work area and the Setup and Maintenance work area.
  • You can check for the status of tasks submitted or any errors encountered while performing the mass creation tasks on the subinventories by downloading the error file from the Action Status page.
  • You can upload either some or all 4 CSV templates to create many subinventories, locators, item subinventory associations, and item locator associations.
  • If you upload a locator or item subinventory association template alone, then ensure that the corresponding subinventories already exist.
  • If you upload an item locator association template alone, then ensure that the corresponding locators already exist.
