UT-K-E  Consolidate Inventory Locations

Purpose of Program

Use this program to eliminate all unwanted warehouse Locations and combine the records assigned to unwanted Locations to a single specified Location.

General Program Operation

MAKE A COMPLETE BACKUP FIRST.  This is a utility program that will affect many data records.  With a backup you can always restore the data if for any reason the program does not produce the desired results.

GET EVERYONE OFF THE SYSTEM: Get all users off the system before running this program.    

First you are presented with a list of existing Locations so that you can select the one(s) you want to keep.  Due to problems resulting from Binary Zeroes, a Blank Location will not be allowed.  All Warehouse Locations must be named.   Once you have selected the Location(s) to keep, click Go.

If your only existing Location is blank, you will not be presented with the screen asking which Locations to keep because the Blank Location must be replaced with a named Location.  The new Location name DEFAULT will be suggested but it can be changed.

Enter the name of the main Location that you want to replace the deleted Location(s) and the existing Location to use for the GL Account posting for the specified Location if it does not already exist.   Once the program is complete, if you have created a new Default Location, go to IN-L-B Enter/Assign Locations and enter a name and address for the new location so the information pulls into as the Ship To for that Location on Purchase Orders.
