Automatic Locations
Automatic Locations
The system can automatically create location codes whenever you enter an undefined value. Do this by setting Automatic Locations to Yes in Site Maintenance (1.1.13). This option is useful if you frequently need to define a new location while entering a transaction.
Note: The system automatically creates new location codes without verification. This means you can inadvertently create a new location code from a typing error. For example, if you type STWCK instead of STOCK, the system creates a location code called STWCK.
If a site has a complex network of storage locations, automatic locations may be a useful feature. An alternate approach is to set up your main locations in Location Maintenance and define sublocations using the lot reference field.
