Select this to assign the stock item to multiple warehouses with the same information against the item in each warehouse.

This means you only enter the data for the item once and this data is then transferred to each warehouse into which you add the item. For example, if you set the cost of the item to 1000 and add the item to four warehouses, then the cost of the item is 1000 in all four warehouses.

To define different data for the item (for example a different cost or different policy details) in the different warehouses, you need to add the item to each warehouse individually (i.e. do not use this function).

If you select this option, then you use the Warehouse list > Click to add a list option to indicate the warehouses you want to add to the stock item.

Operator access to the warehouse is checked and rejected when access is denied.

This indicates what portion of the transaction value of the stock item comprises non-merchandise costs (e.g. freight, duty, tax, etc.).

The cost multiplier is used within the Inventory Movements program when processing a receipt, but only if you have indicated that you want to apply a cost multiplier when processing receipts (Inventory Setup).

If you selected the option: Include non-merchandise costs in last cost (Inventory Setup - Options tab), then the Last cost of the item is calculated as the Receipt cost plus the calculated cost multiplier value. If the option: Include non-merchandise costs in last cost (Inventory Setup - Options tab), is not selected, then the Last cost is the Receipt cost entered when processing the receipt using the Inventory Movements program.

This indicates the cost of one unit of the stock item in the selected warehouse.

Where applicable, it includes additional charges such as freight, customs duty, packaging, etc, and any purchase price variances.

Once you have entered and saved the Unit cost for a stock item, you will be unable to change it using the Warehouses for Stock Code program.

This cost is saved against the current period and prior periods. This ensures that when a transaction is processed for a previous period, the cost of the transaction is not zero.

	If the warehouse is added from a posting program, then only the current period is updated with the cost entered.

If your costing method is set to Standard (Inventory Setup - General tab or Browse on Warehouses if you are using costing per warehouse), then you need to use the Inventory Movements or Transfer BOM Costs to Wh Costs program to change the unit cost. If your costing method is not set to Standard, then the unit cost is adjusted automatically by the movements that affect the unit cost (for example when using Purchase Order Receipts). Irrespective of your costing method, the unit cost of an item can be changed using the Cost Change function of the Inventory Movements program.

You can suppress the display of stock item costs (i.e. normally visible in the Cost column of the listview pane) selectively by operator. To achieve this, you must deny operators access to the Show costs in Stock code maintenanceSecurity Fields. Take care not to deny an operator access to the viewing of costs in stock code maintenance, while allowing the same operator the facility to maintain stock codes. In this scenario, the operator will still be able to view details of BOM costs held against the item.

It is used as a stock control feature, and you can report on items where the on hand quantity is less than this figure using the Warehouse Exception program.

This field is updated by the calculation performed by the Minimum Quantity Calculation program.

It is used as a stock control feature, and you can report on items where the on hand quantity exceeds this figure using the Warehouse Exception program (providing that the entry made here is non-zero).

It is also using together with batching rule D (i.e. order to maximum quantity) within the Requirements Planning module.

	SYSPRO does not allow any order policy (Stock Code Maintenance - Batching rules) to exceed the Maximum quantity defined.

This stock control feature highlights instances where stock falls below a prescribed level and is used within the Requirements Planning module.

The safety stock level is usually set to be above the minimum stock level. It is the quantity of stock kept in the warehouse to protect against fluctuations in demand or supply.

You can report on items where the on hand quantity falls below this figure, using the Warehouse Exception program.

This indicates when you should place an order for more of a particular stock item.

If you are using costing by warehouse (Inventory Setup) and are retaining the BOM Costs by warehouse then the Re-order quantity is used as the EBQ (Economic Batch Quantity) in all calculations.

The re-order quantity is printed on the Purchasing Work Sheet report.

This indicates the specific location of the stock item in a particular warehouse.

If Multiple bins in use is selected against the warehouse (Warehouse Maintenance), then the default bin can be defined here.

The Default bin location is used to generate the default bin for the warehouse. If this is not defined, then the default bin location for the warehouse defaults to the warehouse code itself.

The default bin location is also the location from which stock is issued during the Backflushing function of the Inventory Movements program.

Refer to Multiple bins for additional information.

This indicates extra information you want to store against the warehouse.

You can specify your own wording for these fields (Inventory Setup).

These options enable you to indicate the batching rules you require for the stock item in this warehouse.

The batching rule (or buying rule) is used by the Requirements Planning module to indicate how you want to address quantity shortages encountered for the stock item. Although a buying rule is applied to bought-out items and a batch rule is applied to made-in items, the term is interchangeable within the Requirements Planning system because the buying or batch rules can apply to either bought-out or made-in items.

These options are only enabled if you selected the Batching rule: Q - Apply warehouse order policy for the item (Stock Code Maintenance).

The order policy you select depends on the equivalent batching rule you require. See Batching Rules and Order Policy Equivalents.

If you selected the setup option: Consolidate selected warehouses (Requirements Planning Setup - Warehouses tab), then the order policy defined against the warehouse to use (Stock Code Maintenance) is applied.

The following order policies can be selected:

This indicates the number of working days that represents a fixed time period.

The entry made here is used for all time-based buying rules (i.e. C, K, L, M and N) within the Requirements Planning module.

The fixed time period is ignored when the order policy is M - Order to max if less than min or S - Order to max if shortage.

All order policies take the entry in this field into account. If you enter one or zero in this field, then orders are raised on the date required. Any value greater than zero will cause requirements planning to apply the time period to scheduling demand and raising suggestions.

These options enable you to assign defaults that you want to use when transferring this stock item from a source warehouse to this warehouse.

This indicates whether the stock item for this warehouse can be supplied by another warehouse.

You must select this option if you want to be able to create supply chain transfer orders for this warehouse/stock code combination using the Back Order Review program.

This option must also be selected if you want the Requirements Planning system to take account of supply chain transfer orders.

Indicate the number of days it takes to move the stock item from the source warehouse to the target warehouse.

It is used to calculate the expected delivery date. Non-working days are not taken into account when calculating the expected delivery date if the Use absolute days when applying lead time to transfer supplied items option is enabled (Inventory Setup). When this option is not enabled, non-working days are accounted for when calculating the due date or receipt date for the transfer supplied items.

If this field is left blank, then the program uses the entry defined in the Browse on Warehouse Move Matrix program. If the entry in the matrix is blank, then this field defaults to zero (0).

Within MRP, the lead time entered here is added to the dock to stock days and the entry defined at the Number of days after stock arrives that it can be used field (Requirements Planning Setup).

Indicate the number of days after a stock item arrives in the target warehouse that it is available to use.

Within MRP, the dock to stock days entered here is added to the lead time and the entry defined at the Number of days after stock arrives that it can be used field (Requirements Planning Setup).

Select this to indicate that the buying rule specified against the warehouse must be used by the Requirements Planning system to calculate order quantities in the event of a stock shortage.

If you select to use the warehouse buying rule, then the Re-order quantity assigned to the warehouse is used instead of the Economic Batch Quantity and the Pallet quantity is used instead of the pan size.

This field is enabled only if you selected the option: Use warehouse buying rule.

The buying rule selected here is used by the Requirements Planning system and indicates how you want to address quantity shortages encountered for the stock item.

This field is enabled only if you selected the option: Use warehouse buying rule.

It indicates the number of working days that represents a fixed time period.

For example: A fixed time period of 1 day indicates that if a shortage is encountered, that the total shortage for today and the next working day is used as if the shortage falls today.

The entry made here is used for all time-based buying rules (i.e. C, K, L, M and N) within the Requirements Planning module.

This is used to calculate the additional non-merchandise costs that you want to add to the cost of transferring goods (e.g. Freight and handling charges)

The multiplier is only applied if you selected to apply a cost multiplier when processing receipts (Inventory Setup).

You use these fields to indicate the BOM costs to use for all items in the currently selected warehouse.

If you do not select the option: Manual cost, then these BOM costs are updated for all parent parts by the Bill of Materials Cost Implosion program.

These options are only enabled if you selected the option: Apply warehouse BOM costs (Inventory Setup - General tab).

This indicates the total cost of all subcontract operations for each item included in this warehouse.

This field is only enabled if you selected the setup option: Split subcontract operation costs from material costs (Bill of Materials Setup - General tab).

Select this if you do not want the Cost Implosion program to update the BOM costs defined against the warehouse.

If you select this option, you will need to update the costs manually as required.
