How Do We Use Stocking Locations

Stocking locations are used to stock inventory and spare parts. In Service Logistics, you can set up various stocking location types, such as manned, unmanned, site dedicated stocking locations and technician stocking locations.

You'll then assign these stocking locations to all the field service technicians that can use parts from them. Each field service technician must be assigned one default usable and defective trunk stock location. Service agents order parts from central warehouses and ship them to the field stocking locations where the parts will be used by the field service technicians. Field service administrators can also transfer parts from one stocking location to another to replenish the warehouse or the inventory of field service technicians. You can also use field stocking locations to track both usable and defective parts.
