Business Type: Fleet – Items with Primary Locations

Items are typically assigned to the same locations in Rusty’s Cable

Company. They have setup their sites as vehicles and each vehicle

contains basically the same locations. There are bins for certain

types of cables, a bin for remotes, a rack for cable boxes, etc. The configuration

for each vehicle is the same. For each item, they want to designate a primary

location within each site (vehicle). By doing this, when a user receives or adds an

item using the mobile device or on the PC, for example, the primary location will

automatically appear on the screen, saving the employee from having to search

for it. (The location can be changed to something other than the primary, if

needed.) This is true for picking or removing inventory as well – the item will be

removed from the primary location.

Designating primary locations will work for Rusty in conjunction with his Site

Configurations discussed in Step 3. Since he can set a primary location for each

item in each site, and he will have each mobile device’s From/To s i tes set to the

specific vehicle, the item’s primary location for that vehicle will automatically

appear.

To setup primary locations, Rusty can simply import his items making sure the

import file c ontains a column designating the item as having a preferred location.

When they import their inventory, they can then assign that location to the item.

For details on this process, refer to Chapter 3 – Importing into the Database.

Business Type: Reseller – Items Imported
