Enter Location Groups

Explanation

Use this activity to create new inventory location groups. The purpose of a location group is to group several locations of the same location type, e.g., one group for picking locations and one for floor stock. There are six different types of inventory locations in IFS Cloud, and each location group must be linked to one of these system defined location types. At least one location group must be set up before any inventory location can be defined. This mandatory task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.

Each inventory location must be associated with a location group, and the location type determines what can be done with inventory at that particular location.

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites for this activity.
