Storage configuration group

Type

Specifies the type of entity. This field is for custom use.

Delete inventory when quantity reaches 0

Specifies whether the inventory record in the database is deleted when the remaining quantity of an item reaches zero.

Allow negative quantities

Specifies whether the storage entity can store negative quantity for an item in an entity.

The Allow negative quantities parameter will not have an effect if the Storage parameter Multiple lots/items stored here become indistinguishable has also been selected and there are still items available in other lots. This is because subtracting an item from a lot will never allow the quantity to fall below zero if there are enough items in other lots to meet the quantity used. Instead, the item quantity will be removed proportionately from the other lots. (That is, the system prorates the subtraction of quantities across all of the lots, so the quantities in a given lot will not become negative unless there are no items remaining in any other lot.)

Allow multiple items

Specifies whether the storage entity stores different items at the same time.

Allow multiple lots

Specifies whether the storage entity stores different lots for an item at the same time.

Moveable

Specifies whether you can relocate an entity. If you select this option, the Location field is enabled.

Location

Identifies where a movable entity is currently located. You can modify this field when the Moveable option is selected.

Scannable ID

This field can be used primarily with movable storage entities that may be barcoded (e.g., a pallet). It provides an alternative way to uniquely identify a storage entity, such as a pallet.

Note: Currently the base product does not contain any interface to barcode scanners, so there is no internal use for this field.

Allow a dirty state

Specifies whether you can select the current status of a storage entity as Dirty. You cannot use this entity for storage until you change its status to available.

Multiple lots/items stored here become indistinguishable

Specifies an item cannot be distinguished from other items when you select it.

The Multiple lots/items stored here become indistinguishable parameter can be used with the General system parameter Minimum traceable inventory amount in the following way: If the Multiple lots/items stored here become indistinguishable parameter is selected and the Minimum traceable inventory amount parameter has a value entered, then once the quantity for a lot drops below that value, the balance of the item quantity for that lot (that is, the quantity set as the minimum traceable inventory) will be distributed across the other lots, and the quantity for that lot will be set to 0.

Unlisted

If selected, this entity will not be included in the entity list if the Show Unlisted Entities option on the Apply Filter function is not selected. This is useful if you don't want to see movable storage entities in the list to simplify entity management.

Status

Specifies the current status of the storage entity, whether it is available, used or dirty.

Maximum Capacity

Specifies the maximum quantity of an item that can be stored in an entity.
