Defining inventory locations

Address

Define address information for the inventory location.

Click Attributes to define inventory location attributes. See the Using Attribute Matrix attributes.

PO Ship To

Define the address to which vendors will ship purchase orders.

PO Bill To

Add information about the billing address, contact person, and other billing details. Use it for setting the defaults to the purchase order.

Returns and Inspection

Define default accounts for inventory items that were returned to the vendor or put on inspection hold. These are the default return accounts:

• Returns Suspense for items that were returned to the vendor

• Inspection Hold for items put on inspection hold

• Freight for items returned to the vendor for freight credit

• Handling for items returned to the vendor for handling charge credit

• Scrap for items that failed inspection and the vendor refuses the return; in other words, items that must be scrapped and not placed back into inventory

Miscellaneous

Define miscellaneous information including:

Single Document to a PO	Indicate how to create purchase orders: such as create one purchase order from one requisition, from one customer order, or from both.
Default PO Dropship	Indicate whether to set the Dropship field on a purchase order header when this inventory location is used as the ship-to location on the purchase order.
Requisition options	Which shipment processing steps are required
Set Status	You can set the location to inactive or add-inactive status to prevent using the location as a Ship To location for any reordering or replenishment process.
Roles	To process between companies across country lines. Note: To default the accounting unit for the items at the Inventory Control location while creating a requisition or purchase order, select Yes in the Use GL Category Issue Accounting Unit as Default field.
Set Status	You can set the location to inactive or add-inactive status to prevent using the location as a Ship To location for any reordering or replenishment process.
Replenishment requester	The requester used for replenishment programs IC141 or IC142. Note: It is required that the replenishment requester is set up using Requesters (RQ04.1).
GLN	To assign GLN, access IC58.1. Note: In releases prior to 901 MSP3, the GLN field was open in IC02. It is now a read-only field; all GLN Maintenance occurs in IC58.1 If you have upgraded to 901 MSP3 and had a GLN assigned to this location before the upgrade, then proceed to IC58.1 to start the GLN.

Work Order

Define a production facility and related information for the Production Order application.

If you use Infor Process Automation, then a service is available for notification of an add, change, and delete of inventory locations. See the LPA Services for Infor Lawson Reference Guide.
