Stock Location Listing

This window is only available if you have checked the Maintain multi-stock locations extended information in the File — System Manager System Preferences window.
Extended Stock Information
Extended information enables you to additionally record four quantities and a comment against a batch. The date the location record was created is also recorded.
There are six fields of Extended Information and you can customise the descriptor seen on windows and reports for each one.
NOTE: The option optStockEditDate can be set to 1 or Yes if you want to be able to add and edit any date into the extended data date field. This can be useful for expiry dates.

TIP: Extended Information can be used to broaden the definition of a part. For example, you could use it to have a part definition for a particular grade of steel plate of 20mm thickness. The stock unit would be Kilos. Each batch of this steel plate can be given an independent width, length, number of plates of these dimensions, the date they went into stock and some comments on their condition or use. These extra characteristics are automatically added to any tracking data.
Modifying extended information
The program does not enforce any calculations on the extended information and therefore there is no reason to restrict user-modification of the data. If you are not otherwise in an edit function, you can modify most data by double-clicking on a list line. On doing this, the list converts to a spreadsheet-style list in which you can edit data line by line. When you confirm with an Ok, and changes are saved to the data file.
The data that can be changed is the Location, Width, Length, Angle, Units, Dates (only if there is no date already there unless option optStockEditDate is in force) and Comment. The Comment data is not changed in the list, but in the field below the list.
Splitting a Batch
You can split a single location batch into two locations with different details. To do this, select a location line in the list (single click) and then click on the Split button. The Split Batch window will open in which you can record the distribution of physical stock between the two, and amend any extended information on both.
