Settings tab for Locations

Updated by Cheryl Wallace

The Settings tab applies only to stocking locations.

Assign the default setting for stocking locations that issue inventory to determine the the rules specific to the stocking location. Default settings can be assigned for all the activities being done at or originating from a particular location including transfers, transactions, purchase orders, work orders, and whether job costing will be used.

Allow Negative QOH?

When checked, the quantity on hand for this location can go below 0.  Otherwise, transactions that exceed the QOH will generate an error message.

Use Cost Coding?

The cost code information is collected for transactions such as issues, returns, transfers etc. The company determines whether cost codes are used and, if so, the type:

  • Category and Sub Category.  The cost code is automatically tracked based on the part number category or subcategory.
  • Job and Sub Job. The user must enter the job or sub job code at the time of the transaction.

Container Packing List?

Check this box to enable the recording of the container, pallet, or gang box where an item is stored for transport for transfers. The container will be included on the Packing Slip when printed. If there are multiple containers on the transfer, a separate page will be printed for each container.

Allocate Requisition Quantity?

Check this box to deduct the requisition quantity from the Quantity on Hand.

Allow reissue and auto-return of serialized items?

When inventory is reissued to an entity (location or employee) without having being returned from a prior transaction, permit the automatic generation of a transactions returning the inventory before reissuing it.

Consider creating variants of the Return transaction type and OK return status to indicate automated transactions for quick identification.

Return of serialized item by a different entity causes auto-return and reissue transactions?

When inventory is returned by an entity (location or employee) other than the entity on the original transaction, permit the automatic generation of transactions for the return to the entity to whom the inventory was originally issued, as well as issue and return transactions for the entity returning the inventory.
