description of the location as well.
A distribution business, for example, typically places inventory at a specific location in one or more
warehouses. InventoryControl requires that you define at least one Site containing at least one Location.
If you have multiple warehouses, you can set each one up as a Site, then create multiple locations within
each site to represent the specific areas where you will be storing inventory. For instance, you might
setup a Site as Warehouse 1 containing Locations Shelf 1, Shelf 2 and Shelf 3.
A fleet business might define each vehicle as a Site with multiple Locations (bins, for example) within
each vehicle. In this case you could setup a Site as Vehicle 1 with Locations of Bin1, Bin2 and Bin3. Or
each vehicle could be a single Location operating out of one or more Sites. For example, the Site might
be Docking 1 with locations of Vehicle 1, Vehicle 2, etc.
A retail business might have multiple Locations at one Site or multiple Locations within each of several
Sites. InventoryControl has the flexibility to be configured however it best suits your business needs.
Remember that though you must have at least one site containing one location, you could have multiple
sites that contain multiple locations. There is no limit to the number of locations you can assign to a site.
It is important to note that you can have the same Location code defined at more than one Site - for
instance, Warehouse 1 and Warehouse 2 may each have Location codes of Shelf 1 - so always pay
attention to which Site you are working with when performing Inventory transactions.
Setting up your locations now will allow you to just pick a location from a list when you begin adding
inventory later. It is possible, however, to define locations as you add inventory. If you would prefer to do
this, skip to
.
If you already have location information contained in another database, you may want to use
InventoryControl's Import function rather than manually entering in this information.
For additional information on formatting your Location numbers and descriptions, please refer to the topic

1.8 Step Four - Add Users
- You should enter all users who will be using the system and you can assign specific rights
to each user that limit their activities to certain functions. It is a good idea to give each user his or her own
user name and password rather than sharing a single user profile, as this allows you to keep track of who
performs specific functions in the system. InventoryControl keeps a detailed transaction history of every
action performed in the software. Each time an item is added, removed, moved, etc., the transaction is
logged by InventoryControl and is listed with the user name of the person who performed the transaction,
the date/time of the transaction and the type of transaction on the Transaction List (Main Screen >
Lists > Transaction List).
