Location Type

Select a type of location for this location ID from the drop-down list. Location type is a system-defined code used to classify inventory records by locations. The available options are as follows:

  • Incoming Inspection: This location contains parts that have been received but not accepted or rejected.
  • MRB: This location contains parts being reviewed by the Materials Review Board. The MRB type and the Incoming Inspection type are used in a similar fashion.
  • On-Hand: This location contains parts that are available for use.
  • Reinspection: This location contains parts that have already been accepted or rejected but need to go back through that process.
  • Shipping: This location contains parts that have been removed from stock for shipping. The Shipping type and the On Hand type are used in a similar fashion.
  • On-Hold: This location contains parts that should not be counted as available.
  • RMA Received: This location contains parts that have been returned into the warehouse.
  • RMA Accepted: This location contains parts that have been accepted for return to the warehouse.
  • RMa Rejected: This location contains parts that have been returned to the warehouse but were rejected.

If the current location type is RMA Received, RMA Accepted, or RMa Rejected and quantity exists for the location, location type change is now allowed.
