Multi Location Inventory Control
It would helpful if inventory between locations could be separated. For example, one of our locations does not maintain stock on products that our other location does. For inventory stockout reports, the level of control between the two locations would be very nice! As of right now, if I maintain stock on items that only one location uses, I'm getting alerts for that specific product needing to be ordered when it does not.

Just for clarification, we have multi-location inventory but this suggestion is to make it more granular “per-location” to have different settings per locations as far as what’s tracked/etc.

We do onsites that are booked from our 4 locations, without having inventory reflect I have 1 part at each location, how can keep from having 4 modems instock, 1 per shop. I dont need to stock 4 modems but want the location booked from to take the 1 we carry and alert went reorder needed

This would greatly save us time when we try to do stock takes.

Agreed - knowing what inventory is in which vehicle would make it much more efficient to find "that thing" when it's needed.

I think there may be two different requests here, I would love to be able to have multiple locations in one shop, so say car1 and car2, showroom, warehouse (small office lol) and workshop etc.

We would like to record inventory levels for each service vehicle separate form the main office warehouse.

This would also help our company. Our service vehicles carry inventory which we take on a weekly bases. I would be very helpful if we would know if the van heading to a site has part XYZ for a non-related service call in the same area.

I would also like to know what can be done about this, we have a commercial side and a residential side of the company, two totally different items stocked. And i get emails saying inventory is low on one side but we do not sell it from that side of the store.

This would be good. But the inventory needs better handling of BIN locations.
The BIN locations should be a choice from a drop down list, not a free text field.
If the desired BIN location does not exist, then an option to create it should be presented. -

@Becca: Jason is correct. Also, ask RS to switch that location to non-inventory - they can do that!

Just make the field blank then click Save. It will put a dash in that field and then it won't alert you for that location.
