Requesting locations
A requesting location can be a stock location defined in Inventory Control, or a non-stock location such as a department, cost center, or store.
For both stock and non-stock locations, the location is the originator of demand for supplies or other resources. This table shows the three requesting location types:
| Requesting Location Type | Definition |
|---|---|
| Stock (for Direct Transfer or Intransit Transfer transaction types) | A stock location maintains inventory items and has a transfer transaction type. |
| Non-stock (for Issue transaction types) | A non-stock location requests items, but does not maintain inventory, and is required to use an issue transaction type. |
| Cart/par | A cart or par location refers to par locations, exchange carts, and par level carts, all of which are used to store established quantities of supplies. |
