Tell Acme where each store sources it's inventory.
Central and Satellite Acmes can show inventory for every store. Best practice is to only have location records pertinent to the installation. Exception is the Central record which cannot be deleted but also does not have on-hand or label records.
As of Acme Build 1876, Central Acme creates a location record for every location for all stocking items. Make sure your Store Locations actually exist. If you create extra locations you will bloat your database proportionately. If an item is switched to non-stocking in central, the on hand records are removed. When the satellite stores are updated, the corresponding on hand records are removed as well. If the item is switched to stocking in central, then on hand records are created and satellite stores are updated as well.
If an item in the DB does not have a full set of on hand records, the multi-store routines do not back fill the missing record. This can still be accomplished with location maintenance.
You must have the Store Location Maintenance privilege in order to add/edit the locations.
Store Location Code -Enter (or import via Data Pump) an inventory location code from your host accounting system. The code may be up to 10 characters long.
Examples:
WH1
WH2
Main
RedWing
Description -Describe the this code.
Examples:
Warehouse 1
Warehouse 2
Main Location
Red Wing Store
Store Number -Enter the Store Number that corresponds with this location.
If you have more than one store then Central Acme is Store 000 and additional stores are numbered 001 to 999. You can assign any number you like eithin that range during initial setup.
Billing and Delivery Addresses - Used primarily for purchasing, printed on purchase orders.
It is possible to have warehouses that service multiple stores.
Backfill Records - Creates missing on hand and label records.
You must have the Store Location Maintenance privilege in order to back-fill records and you must be the only user logged into Acme when the process is run.
The Backfill button only adds records that belong to store; in Central they are added for all stores that have a store number.
