The site where this storage location can be found

Name of the location. Keep in mind when selecting a name for the location that when the system prints work order and sales order picklists, it looks through locations for available inventory and makes detail allocations. The system looks through location codes in ascending or descending order according to the setting in Inventory Control (3.24)

Code representing the status of inventory in this location. Based on the inventory status code you enter, you can control

If Yes, system maintains all location detail records even if the balance on-hand is zero. If No, the system automatically deletes inventory detail records when the location’s balance falls to zero

The Type field identifies the type of location. Locations are categorized by type, and items can be assigned to a specific type of location.

Type codes can be used to define specific types of locations such as tanks, silos, freezers, barrel racks. Items can also have an Inventory Type code and the system will match the two to help control where items are put away. That is the system will prevent an item with Inventory Type code tank, from being put into a location that does not have the same type code.

If Yes, identifies this location as a single item location. This is useful in situations where you store different types of items (olive oil, ammonia) of the same kind of material (liquid). In that case, setting this field to Yes, prevents the different types of items from being stored in this location at the same time. If No, then it is not a single item location

If Yes, this location can only have an on-hand balance for a single lot (and lot reference if used) of one item at one time
