📋 Chapter: Storage Locations

In CIS mobile, storage locations are used to correctly book material stocks in the context of service orders. They define from which physical or logical inventory materials are withdrawn, transferred, or ordered.

Configuration determines which storage locations are used for specific purposes – such as vehicle inventories, transfer points, or central warehouses.


🔧 Configurable Parameters for Storage Locations
Parameter Description / Example Function in the Application
Vehicle Storage Locations XX*, YY* Placeholders for dynamic locations (e.g., XX1234 for vehicle 1234) Used for per-vehicle stock handling; important for transfers and withdrawals
Central Storage Location 0002 Main warehouse for centralized ordering or booking
Delivery Plant 1200 Plant where the material inventory is managed
Vehicle Plant 1299 Plant managing the vehicle storage locations

💡 Usage in the Application
  • For material ordering, the delivery storage location is determined automatically.
  • During material transfers between vehicles or to/from the central warehouse, storage locations define where and how the stock moves (e.g., movement type 311).
  • Storage locations are also used when recording material consumption in work reports.
  • Vehicle-specific locations allow individualized inventory management per technician or vehicle.
  • Placeholders like XX* are dynamically replaced with actual vehicle numbers at runtime.
