About Locations
Use these settings to choose how to process and manage additional features from Cim200.

Warehouse Hierarchy can be used to determine, for each manufacturing warehouse location, which other locations can be used to draw component stock.
Once configured, the hierarchy will be used by MRP to determine available component stock, or when allocating or issuing stock in Works Orders.
The order in which warehouses are checked for stock can also be determined, by assigning a priority number against each warehouse in the Stock Item Details screen.
Apply to Stock Items
Cim200 allows warehouse hierarchies to be set for each item.
Once valid component warehouses have been selected for a build warehouse, you can select Apply to Stock Items to update multiple stock items with these selections.
Tick the box next to each item that you want to update. Use Select All to select all items in the list. Use the filter box and quick search box to assist in finding the item(s) to update, or to filter the list if you don’t want to update all items.
Select the Overwrite Existing Hierarchy option to remove any warehouse hierarchies that are already setup for the selected items and warehouse, and update with the new hierarchy being applied.
Open: Stock Control > Maintenance > Locations > Edit
Select from the following settings:
Priority
If Warehouse Hierarchy is in use for Works Orders and MRP, each warehouse location can be configured with a Priority number to set an order of preference for sourcing component stock, where a component item is stocked in multiple warehouse locations.
Set a priority number to indicate the level of priority assigned to the warehouse. Component stock will be sourced from the item’s valid warehouses in order of lowest priority number first.
The Priority number set here acts as a default; it can be overridden for each item through the Stock Item Details screen.
