Location Groups

This page describes the Location Groups setting in the Stock module.

---

Together with Location Classifications, you can use Location Groups to classify Locations. You can allocate several Location Classifications to each Location, but only one Location Group. An example use for Location Groups will be to group Locations geographically, perhaps with a separate Location Group for each city.

After defining your Location Groups, you can assign them to your Locations using the Group field in the header of the Location record.

You can use the Location Group as a search criterion in the Delivery Journal, Goods Receipt Journal, Item History and Stock List reports in the Stock module. For example, if you specify an Item Number and a Location Group when running the Stock List report, the report will show how many units of the Items are held in each Location belonging to the Location Group.

To work with Location Groups, first use the [Switch Module] button in the Home Screen to ensure you are in the Stock module. Then, if you are using Windows or macOS, click the [Settings] button, also in the Home Screen, and double-click 'Location Groups' in the resulting list. If you are using iOS or Android, select 'Settings' from the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon) and tap 'Location Groups' in the 'Settings' list. The 'Location Groups: Browse' window opens, listing the Location Groups that you have already entered:

To enter a new Location Group, select 'New' from the Create menu (Windows/macOS) or the + menu (iOS/Android). The 'Location Group: New' window appears: enter the Code and Comment as appropriate and click [Save] (Windows/macOS) or tap √ (iOS/Android) to save the new record.
