Location management

Location management allows a great level of specificity when setting up storage locations in the Inventory module: users can specify the building, room, shelf and bin of an item.

Note

Filling in each field is NOT obligatory only optional. However, you cannot leave input fields blank between two fields where data is added (i.e. you cannot add Building and Shelf, without filling in the Room field.)

Home Locations Tab

The latest Inventory module version allows users to search for items more conveniently: it provides you with the location history of items, 
offers a more straightforward way of checking in your items or transferring them in bulk to another location.

The location history of consumable and non-consumable items is also at hand while completing check-in transactions. 

The Home Locations tab in the Check-In popup lists:

  • every location the item has been checked out from in the past 180 days and
  • every location where the item is currently in stock:
