Location Bulk Updates

Purpose: Use the Location Bulk Updates wizard to set the Labor Cost, the Days Open for Auto Cancel, or both, for one or more locations within a system. You can select the locations to update based on:

Location Type
Country
State or Province
Region
Rank

The Review step of the wizard indicates the total number of locations eligible for update. The eligible locations are not listed, and no report is produced when you submit the update, but the locations are updated automatically.

About Days Open for Auto Cancel: A location’s Days Open for Auto Cancel settings are used to indicate which days of the week to exclude when calculating the Pickup By Date for a pickup or ship-for-pickup order line assigned to the location. Once the Pickup By Date has passed, the order line is eligible to be canceled by the Auto Cancel Unclaimed Pickup Orders job. See Auto-Cancel Unclaimed Orders for a discussion.

Note:

If you change a location’s Days Open for Auto Cancel settings, this does not affect the Pickup By Date that has already been assigned to any order lines for the location.
