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.
A Warehouse Hierarchy can be set independently for each Warehouse for each stock item record.
With Cim200 you can also determine the order in which warehouses are checked for stock, by assigning a priority number against each warehouse. To do this, select the Warehouse and click Edit, then set the Priority number.
Note: When a warehouse location is added to the item, Sage offers the option to also add the warehouse hierarchy setup for that location to the item’s warehouse hierarchy, if one exists.
Also, where the added warehouse is a source location in the hierarchy of any other warehouses already added for the item, their warehouse hierarchies will also be added for that item.
Edit Warehouse
Open: Stock Control > Stock Records > Enter New Stock Item > Locations | Edit Warehouse
Open: Stock Control > Stock Records > Amend Stock Item Details > Locations | Edit Warehouse
Open: Stock Control > Stock Records > Enter New Stock Item > Locations | Add Warehouse
Open: Stock Control > Stock Records > Amend Stock Item Details > Locations | Add Warehouse
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 for Works Orders will be sourced from the item’s valid warehouses in order of priority, with priority 1 being the highest and 9 the lowest.
If adding a new location, click Add then select the location to add and select the Priority number.
If amending an existing location, select the location then click Edit, select the Priority number.
Default Manufacturing Warehouse
When MRP gives recommendations to raise new Works Orders for built items, each recommendation is specific to a location. The Recommendation Location setting in Stock Item Details determines whether MRP will use the Demand/Completion Warehouse or instead use the item’s Default Warehouse for these recommendations.
Where the item is set to use the Default Warehouse, tick Default Manufacturing Warehouse for the warehouse that should be used by MRP for any make recommendations.
