Setup - Locations

Choose Setup - Items - Locations from the Menu. This will open the 'Locations'  Tab option on the setup form. Locations are used for stock counting purposes.  Stock count sheets generated by this software are ordered by Location and Bin range. Locations can be used to create sections within your store that are different to the Category structure. e.g. the mops may be next to the detergents on the shelves. They may be in different categories but could have the same location for counting and re-ordering purposes. This will allow you to print a conveniently ordered count sheet for a particular section at any time. Vendor Reports are also broken down by Location, so Locations can also be used as a sub group for Vendors if required. For clothing stores, it is useful to setup the locations as Seasons, that way a vendor report can be run by Season.   To select a Location to edit, click on it's record on the left hand side of the form. Click on the 'Save' button to Save the record. To add a new record, click on the 'New' button and fill in the new Location number and description.  Click 'Save' to save the new record. To remove a Location click on the 'Delete' button.  If the parent Location contains any 'child' items, the operation will not be allowed. Here is an explanation of the columns (field names) in the table. Location - Use a unique, non zero,   number for the ID.  The Location Numbers can be any size (within reason) and need not be sequential - Description - Give the Location a unique description that will allow you to identify it at a glance. Location In Store # - Enter the store number relevent to this location. (Usually 1 in a single store setup) In a multi store scenario, this feature enables custom location setups in each store. To allow one location table to be setup for all stores, use store Zero (0)
