(Inventory – Inventory Setup – Location Groups)
User-defined “location groups” enable you to assign allowable locations to a set of stock items as an alternative to assigning locations one item at a time.
For example, all your sheet metal items might be allowed storage in a particular rack area. Instead of assigning the allowable rack locations to each sheet metal item, you can create a location group to represent your sheet metal items and assign allowable locations to it. Any item that is assigned to the sheet metal location group is indirectly assigned to all its allowable locations.
