Stock locations

You can choose to use more than one location for your stock items in Sage 200. This allows you to manage stock items different physical locations, such as Newcastle, Leeds and Manchester. This also allows you to record where stock items are stored in a single warehouse, such as which bay, shelf or bin.

You can use multiple locations to control those items that you want to sell to your customers and those items you do not want to sell. Both can be stored in the same physical location. You can use two warehouses and you can set one to stop the sale of items. This is particularly useful if you are dealing with bonded goods or items used to assemble products.

There are two levels of locations:

To use multiple locations

  1. Select Display multiple locations in the Stock Control Settings Options tab.

  2. Create meaningful names for each location level in the Stock Control Settings Configurable Names tab, such as depot, bay or shelf.

    There are two default location names, Returns and Home. The Home warehouse is used if you do not use multiple locations. The Returns warehouse is only displayed when viewing item balances, provided items have been returned to the supplier.

  3. Create top level locations or warehouse(s).
