If you keep stock in more than one physical location (stock room, warehouse, etc.), SpendMap can keep track of inventory levels, open orders and other transactions by location.

If you are using multiple locations, the high-level stock status details (e.g. available quantity, on-order, etc.) that show on most screens will show a sum total of stock across all locations and in many cases there will be a [VIEW LOCATIONS] button to view location-specific details. Similarly, on many inventory-related reports, you will have the option to include a summary by location and in many cases the reports can be filtered to only one location (e.g. to show what needs to be re-ordered for one location, to get an inventory value by location, etc.).

When entering transactions that affect stock (e.g. receipts, usages, requisitions from stock, etc.), users will be prompted to select a location code from this master file. If someone works primarily in one location (e.g. a warehouse manager), you can specify a default location in the user’s profile so that they don’t have to fill in the location code for each transaction.
