Stock Location

A system for managing the physical location of inventory within a warehouse or stock compound. Stock items are segregated by issue frequency, size, issue quantity, attractiveness or type and placed in dedicated locations within a warehouse or compound. Locations may be fixed, meaning that the same item is always located in the same location, or random.
