Material that is received on site and booked into the inventory will be stored at a location in a warehouse. All material in the inventory is handled with assigned warehouse, location, receiving status, and quantity unit.
For easy identification, a location should be related to a real physical material storage location.
Site locations can be defined on the Site Locations screen.
The name of the site location appears in the Location field, and the descriptions appear in the Short Description and Description fields. To make a location a quarantine location, the Quarantine Loc column must be set to ‘Yes’. A quarantine location is needed for the Site inspection feature. A quarantine location is not available to issue material; therefore, material assigned to a quarantine location cannot be selected in the material issue screens.
The Cable Drum column can be used for reporting purposes; it is not used anywhere else in Smart Materials.
