With Locations enabled, you’ll see a Storage Defaults section under each Make and Buy Item. They function as follows:
Default Storage Location - Specifies where, by default, the Item should be stored upon receipt.
Default Consumption Location - Specifies where, by default, the Item should be consumed from during work sessions.
Note: Both where the item is stored, and where the item is consumed from, can be adjusted, but the default location pre-populates the fields associated with receiving (such as creating receipts) or consuming (such as performing work sessions) the Item.
In order to adjust both the Default Storage Location and Default Consumption Location of an Item, click the Edit button on the Item’s Details page.
Then Select a new Default Storage Location and / or a Default Consumption Location for the Item.
Note: You can select at any level of Location granularity based on the Locations that have been defined; for example, you might specify that an item should have a Default Storage Location of Aisle 1 in Storage Bay 1, without specifying a Bin by default.
Once complete, click Save to save the change.
The Item will now by default be stored in the newly selected Default Storage Location upon receipt, and / or consume from the newly selected Default Consumption Location.
Note: Locations workflows currently require a backend flag to be enabled in order to be available for use. Reach out to a StartProto customer success engineer to discuss enabling Locations workflows if interested in learning more.
