ManEx users may identify an unlimited number of warehouses in which to store materials. If the user wishes, it is possible to establish a wide variety of warehouses for special needs. If the user is involved with much consigned activity, it is possible to set up a warehouse for each customer and their material. A warehouse might be set up as a secure location for very high value material, with additional physical security precautions to access this area.
For those users who want to separate the Finished Goods from the Raw Materials Inventory, be sure to include a Finished Goods Warehouse.
The MRB (Materials Review Board) Warehouse is required for the DMR (Discrepant Material Return) module.
There are at least two warehouses that cannot be removed from the system: WIP and WO-WIP. These warehouse locations are used by MANEX to track materials within the manufacturing process. For more detail on WO-WIP see Article #3061. Also, any warehouse that has material purchased to be placed in it, or has inventory in it, may not be deleted. All other warehouses may be deleted. Deletion of a WHSE is only flagged as deleted but is still retained within the tables for history preservation.
One warehouse must be selected as the default warehouse. This is normally Main1 Warehouse.
Each warehouse has associated with it a warehouse code (6 characters), a warehouse description (25 characters), Division designation, if applicable, and Inventory General Ledger Account number (setup in the GL Account Setup) and an Inventory Shrinkage General Ledger Account number (also setup in the GL Account Setup ).
Note: The Inventory GL number is required if the ACCOUNTING Module is active. ManEx recommends choosing the Inventory GL number with care because we do NOT recommend changing it once the selection is saved. WIP and MRB Inventory GL numbers must be unique. It is VERY important that the Account Number for WO-WIP is NOT the same as the WIP account number. WIP and MRB Inventory GL numbers MUST be unique. The system will not allow Inventory GL numbers that have been used by other warehouses to be entered for WIP and/or MRB warehouses and other warehouse can not use the same Invnetory GL numbers that are used by WIP and/or MRB warehouses. ManEx does plan on removing the Shrinkage GL account number because it does not serve a purpose at this time.
Turn ON/Off for All Warehouses to Allow Auto Create Location at Receiving Box -If this box is UNCHECKED it will not “Allow Auto Create Location at Receiving” for all Warehouses listed in Warehouse setup. If this box is CHECKED it will “Allow Auto Create Location at Receiving” for all Warehouses listed in Warehouse setup. This is not only controlled at the System Setup level. You will also need to check the "Allow to Auto Create Location at Receiving" box located in the Inventory Control, AVL level for this option to work properly.
Allow to Auto Create Location at Receiving Box - checking this box (along with checking the box in Inventory Control AVL level) will allow user to create a location at the PO level, PO receiving level, and/or Inventory Handling Receiving level for this warehouse. Unchecking the Auto Create disables that warehouse from being used on the fly.
Remove location with this warehouse from the Inventory when qty on hand gets to zero Box - This will only be available if user checks the “Allow to Auto Create Location at Receiving” box. You would check this box (along with checking the box in Inventory Control AVL level) if you want the Warehouse and location created at the Inventory level, PO level or PO Receiving level to be rendered inactive (made invisible in most screens) from that Inventory part once the inventory reaches “0”. If the user de-kitted the work order, that same warehouse would be reactivated and product inserted.
Default Box – If none of the WHSE or Inventory AVL's are marked for Auto-location creation then the system will automatically assign the default whse upon creation of a brand new part number/avl. If you have the auto-location creation option enabled for the WHSE and AVL then the system will leave the WHSE section blank for new parts, and allow users to create new locations from PO Receiving.
Do Not Use in Auto-Kit – If this box is checked this warehouse will not be used in Auto-Kitting.
Add Default warehouse automatically upon saving a part whenever a new AVL is added to the part and no other warehouses are setup for the AVL -The default warehouse is added automatically upon saving a part whenever a new AVL is added to a part EXCEPT; If the "Allow to Auto Create Location at Receiving" button is checked and the "Add Default warehouse automatically ....." box is unchecked the system will NOT add a warehouse within the Inventory module upon saving the record. This works in conjuctions with the “Allow to Auto Create Location at Receiving” button.
Note: The Inventory GL number is required if the ACCOUNTING Module is active. ManEx recommends choosing the Inventory GL number with care because we do NOT recommend changing it once the selection is saved. WIP and MRB Inventory GL numbers must be unique. The system will not allow Inventory GL numbers that have been used by other warehouses to be entered for WIP and/or MRB warehouses and other warehouse can not use the same Inventory GL numbers that are used by WIP and/or MRB warehouses. ManEx does plan on removing the Shrinkage GL account number because it does not serve a purpose at this time.
