Location management

Companies

Par and Cycle Counting companies correspond to companies in the Mobile Supply Chain Management system.

Locations

A location is a place, in a company, where inventory is stored. A location can represent a physical place, such as a city, building, or floor of a building. It can also represent a logical classification, such as spare parts, office supplies, and consignment inventory.

Locations in Par and Cycle Counting include par locations and inventory locations.

Bins

A bin is a level of storage within a company location. A bin can be a specific area, rack, shelf, or row at the location. You define bins at the Procurement location level.

Report Groups

A report group is a structuring method you can use to classify a group of locations. You must have at least one report group per company in order to conduct a physical inventory assessment. In addition to conducting physical inventory, you can use report groups to classify locations for reporting, inquiry, and processing purposes. When you specify a report group in inquiry or report programs, you access only the information related to the locations within that report group.
