What is a Location Object?
In Sanka, a Location Object represents a physical or virtual space designated for storing inventory.
These locations can be set broadly, ranging from large areas like entire warehouses to specific spots such as individual shelves, enabling precise tracking of where products are placed within the inventory system.
The Location Object supports efficient organization and management of inventory by assigning products, parts, and materials to appropriate storage locations.
Default Properties of the Location Object:
Sanka’s Location Object includes specific data properties that define its attributes and how it integrates with the overall inventory system.
This data allows companies to properly manage their storage facilities and accurately track where products are located.
Location ID: A unique identifier for the location. It ensures that each storage area is clearly recognized within the system.
Location Name: The name or label assigned to a location composed of a combination of warehouse, floor, zone, aisle, rack, shelf, and bin. This helps quickly identify and locate storage places.
Warehouse: If the location is part of a larger storage facility, this field indicates which warehouse the location belongs to.
Floor / Zone / Aisle / Rack / Shelf / Bin: These divide warehouses or locations into smaller manageable areas or sections.

Inventory Object:
The Inventory Object uses the Location Object to assign inventory of each product to specific locations.
This links all inventory items to particular places, enabling accurate inventory tracking and location-based inventory management.
Inventory Stock-Ins and Stock-Outs:
Inventory inbound and outbound tracks the movement of stock between locations.
For every receipt, shipment, or internal transfer transaction, the involved locations are recorded, and inventory levels are updated in real time.
Each transaction records both the origin location (where inventory was moved from) and the destination location (where it was transferred to).
