Step 3: Enter or Import Your Sites and Locations
Now you are ready to begin entering sites and locations into the database.
Remember that locations are the areas into which you will assign inventory, while
sites contain the various locations. In other words, a site is a collection of
locations. We suggest creating one site for each building or structure that
contains inventory. InventoryControl requires that you define at least one Site
containing at least one Location. You can also have multiple sites that contain
multiple locations. In fact, there is no limit to the number of locations you can
assign to a site.
A location is typically shorthand for a physical place such as a shelf in your
warehouse. Commonly used conventions include Location codes like this:
01 02 05 (for Row #, Shelf #, Bin #)
When you are determining your
locations, think about your particular
needs. Your site doesn’t necessarily
have to be a building and your location
doesn’t have to be a shelf. Your sites
can be vehicles, warehouses, garages,
storage rooms, or even barns, sheds,
etc. Locations can be vehicles, bins,
shelves, closets, drawers…anything in
which you routinely keep your inventory.
InventoryControl gives you the flexibility
to design your system how it works best for your business. Just remember to
TIP: It is important to note
that you can have the same
Location code defined at more
than one Site - for instance,
Warehouse 1 and Warehouse 2
may each have Location c odes of
Shelf 1 - so always pay attention
to which Site you are working with
when performing Inventory
transactions.
