To create a new site location, select the NEW button. The following screen will appear:

Create new site Location

When creating a new site location, you are presented with the following options:

Site

Specify site for the site location.

Zone

Specify the site zone you want to associate with the location, if any. Zone selection will be activated only if site zones have been defined for the specified site.

Netable

Select if you want inventory stored in the location to be used for inventory planning purposes (i.e., MRP). If not selected, the location will be considered non-netable. Both netable and non-netable inventory are included in the quantity on hand (QOH) total.

Usable

Select if you want inventory stored in the location to be available immediately to satisfy work order and sales order demand. If not selected, the location will be considered non-usable. Both usable and non-usable inventory are included in the QOH total.

Restricted

Select if only a restricted set of items may be placed in this location. Not selecting means any item that exists in the same site as this location may be placed into it.

Active

Select to mark the location as active. If not selected, the location will be considered inactive.

Name

Enter a name to identify the location. The name of the location will vary, depending on whether the specified site enforces the aisle, rack, bin, location (ARBL) naming convention. If the convention is enforced, then the name for the location may also include aisle, rack, or bin information. If ARBL is not enforced, then the location name will consist of only one field.

Note

The parameters for the ARBL naming convention are set within a site master. These parameters include the maximum length allowed for names and whether alpha characters or numeric only may be used.

Description

This is a scrolling text field with word-wrapping for entering a description of the location.

Allowable Items

Display is only activated if the location has been designated as restricted. If a location is restricted, only certain items are allowed to be stored there.
