The system supports four levels of inventory. You can view summaries of stock at each level through the Material Status Inquiry program or through reports.
Below are the four levels:
▪ Item
▪ Item + warehouse
▪ Item + warehouse + location
▪ Item + warehouse + location + lot
The lot number level and/or container of inventory can cross multiple warehouses and locations. For example, item + lot or item + lot + container. Locations exist within warehouses. There is no limit on the number of warehouses, locations, or lots that you can assign to an item.
