Locations

Unlike other groups, Locations are places such as walk-ins, freezers, dry storage areas, and other places where food is stored. They are used to produce inventory forms that print by location and also to divide up large operations into Profit Centers (Locations are individually assigned to Profit Centers). Using this type of grouping scheme, it becomes possible to take quicker, more accurate inventories, since the forms follow the order in which goods are found in the operation.

To set Location properties, click Edit. Under Inventory Type, select how the item is to be inventoried.

• Normal Inventory assumes that the Location will have inventories at regular intervals.
• Not Inventoried assumes that the Location is not to be inventoried. All items in that Location do not show up on inventory forms and maintain a zero inventory level for all items in that location.
• Use Last Inventory Count carries over the counts from the last full inventory on any subsequent inventory forms.

Please note that the Inventory Type can be set at the Profit Center level which overrides any Location Level settings.
