6 Location Based Inventory

Location based inventory tracks all merchandise items that leave or enter the store by associating all items with a specific inventory location. This type of merchandise tracking creates an audit trail record that tracks an item from the time it enters the store until the time it leaves.

The prompt for inventory location for an item may be configured as:

• Never: Never prompt for a location

• Ambigious: Only prompt if there is more than one location

• Always: Always prompt for location
