Enter Location Groups
Explanation
Use this activity to create new inventory location groups. The purpose of a
location group is to group several locations of the same location type, e.g.,
one group for picking locations and one for floor stock. There are six different types of
inventory locations in IFS Applications, and each location group must be linked
to one of these system defined location types. At least one location group must
be set up before any inventory location can be defined. This mandatory task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.
Each inventory location must be associated with a location group, and the
location type determines what can be done with inventory at that particular
location.
Prerequisites
There are no specific prerequisites for this activity.
