The Inventory Processing options on the Warehouse Administration page enable you to maintain records in your Inventory Catalog. The catalog is a single table in your database. When you build the table, you add a record for each item stored at each warehouse location. For example, if you keep an inventory of a specific item in three locations, you would add three records for the item, one for each location.
The Warehouse Administration's Inventory Processing options enable you to add and update records in the Inventory Catalog. This section describes these options, while the additional sections detail the information and procedures for using them.
