Inventory

Using multiple locations for inventory

 

You can use MYOB Premier Accounting to track your inventoried items that are stored in more than one location. A location can be a building or it can be an aisle or bin; you can define the locations that you use.

When you purchase an item, you can select the location where the item will be stored. When you sell the item, you can select which location the item will be taken from.

To start to use the multiple locations feature, you must create at least one other location -- a second location in MYOB Premier Accounting. After you create your second location, you'll see the Location column on Invoices, Bills and Orders for:

The Location column isn't available on Quotes.

You can move an inventoried item from one location to another. You can move items by selecting the Move Items feature using the Item Information window - Locations view or by selecting Move Items in the Inventory Command Center

If you have a location that you don't want to sell from, you can set up the location so that items in that location won't be included on location lists. For example, you might have a location that you use for repairs only. When you set up a location in this way, you won't include an item from the location on an invoice or order by mistake.

As with items and cards, you can edit, delete and inactivate inventory locations.

In order to begin purchasing and selling inventoried items using multiple locations, you'll perform a few basic steps to set up your company file. [To use multiple locations for inventoried items]
