Steps: Set Up Inventory Storage Locations

Steps: Set Up Inventory Storage Locations

Workday enables you to configure item storage locations without a physical address, and easily move item storage locations around your organization. Using inventory storage locations can also help with stock request performance when your organization contains a large number of nonaddressable locations.
  1. Access the
    Create Inventory Storage Location
     task.
    Enter a locations identifier. To create a location hierarchy, enter a superior location, which can be another storage location.
    Security:
    Set Up: Inventory Storage Location
     domain in the Inventory functional area.
  2. Access the
    Edit Location
     task to apply validations to your inventory storage locations.
    Security:
    Manage: Location
     domain in the Organizations and Roles functional area.
  3. (Optional) Access the
    Edit Purchase Item
     task.
    On the
    Inventory Site Options
     tab, you can assign an inventory storage location to these prompts:
    • Default Consigned Stocking Location
    • Default Stocking Location
    • Preferred Picking Location
    Security:
    Set Up: Purchase Item
     domain in the Procurement functional area.
  4. Access the
    Create Integration System
     task and configure the
    Inventory Label Printing Enable Locations Template
     type label printing template.
    Security:
    Integration Build
     domain in the Integration functional area.
  5. Configure the
    Requested Location with Inventory Usage
     field on that template, with a value of
    Inventory Label Locations
    .
    See Steps: Set Up Integrations for Inventory Label Data for more information about setting up the new template in an integration, and apply it as an integration step on the
    Inventory Label Event
     business process.
