Supply Resource Location Dictionary
The Supply resource location dictionary indicates where supply resources are located in the facility. During the setup of Inventory Configuration, users will be required to indicate a 'default' location. Supplies will be assigned the default location at set up and modification to the default can be made when the Item Master is completed.
The Supply resource location is used when purchase orders are received; when items are depleted from cases, and when physical inventory worksheets are printed. All items in the system will be required to have a minimum of one location set as the default. All receiving, depleting and adjustments will be made to the location identified as the default for each item unless it is modified at the transaction level.
The Supply resource location is a Not Shared (Business Entity) dictionary. Items entered here will be unique to the Business Entities in which it is created.
Before you begin
- Determine what locations should be referenced in the system. There will generally be one main stock room in a facility. This may be the location set in the Inventory Configuration screen as the facility's default location.
- Consider how the physical inventory worksheets should be printed when you are building this dictionary. If you have crash carts, pharmacies or nurses stations where supplies are stored these locations may also need to be included in the dictionary so that count sheets can be generated when needed.
