Warehouses in relation to item masters

Item masters have specific relationships to warehouses.

For instance, the reorder point for an item master at one warehouse may be different from the reorder point for another warehouse. This goes for the reorder quantity, pick and putaway locations, locks, discontinued status, and holds. So regardless whether your operation consists of one or many warehouses, you set the following item master settings under Operations>Item Masters>Warehouses tab.

Note: Check the Warehouse drop-down at the top of the page. If you are in All Warehouses view, then the Warehouse tab on the item master page shows all the following fields for each warehouse. If you are in a specifc warehouse view, then the Warehouse tab on the item master page only shows the following fields for that warehouse.

Reorder Point - This quantity determines the stockout status.
Reorder Quantity Standard Unit - This amount appears by default on Purchase Orders.
Default Pick Loc - This location appears by default on Shipments.
Default Putaway - This location appears by default on Receipts.
Admin Lock - This lock prevents the item from being processed in all transactions.
Discontinued - This status prevents the item from being ordered.
Hold - This hold prevents the item from being shipped or added to sales orders.

For the Warehouse tab field descriptions, see Warehouses tab.

Setting the reorder point and reorder quantity is necessary to view a low-stock item in the Inventory Stockout report under Reports>Inventory Stockout. See Stockout report for more details.
