You use the Locations screen in the I/C Setup folder to add location records in Inventory Control, and to assign items to particular locations.
A location is a place, such as a warehouse or retail store, where you keep some or all of your inventory. You must set up at least one location in Inventory Control for your inventory items.
Before you can post a transaction for an item at a location, such as receive the item at the location, you must do one of the following:
- Select the Allow Items At All Locations option in the I/C Options screen.
- Assign the item to the location.
Note: You can assign an item to more than one location.
If you want to override General Ledger account segments in Inventory Control transactions that include items stocked at a particular location, you select the Override G/L Account Segments option on the Integration tab of the location record, and then specify the segment to override, as well as the segment code with which to replace the segment.
For more information about overriding account segments for a location see About Overriding General Ledger Account Segments for Locations.
