Steps: Set Up Inventory Locations

Steps: Set Up Inventory Locations

You can set up locations for inventory and use them to create inventory sites and stocking locations. A stocking location is where you physically store, track, and transact inventory. An inventory site is a group of stocking locations you manage as a unit. At the inventory site, you establish policies that apply to all stocking locations in the site, such as fulfillment and replenishment policies.
  1. Set up locations for inventory usage.
    • Select the
      Inventory
       check box in the
      Location Usage
       field.
    • Add
      Superior
       and
      Subordinate Locations
      , such as bins within a warehouse, to create a location chain.
    Example: Create a superior location called
    Central Warehouse
    . Create a subordinate location called
    Bin A
     that belongs to
    Central Warehouse
    .
  4. (Optional) Access the
    Mass Update Stocking Locations
