Locations will be used to store your assets or inventory. To add your locations, see https://www.onmarss.co.za/?knowledgebase=1-2-setup-locations.

To manage your existing locations, navigate to the Explorer option in the Location menu.

Step 1: Select the location name, then select the Details button on the location card:

Step 2: Update fields on the Details tab:

  • Out Location: Do not include the assets or inventory in this location in any stock count calculations
  • Holding Location: Allow assets currently in the On Hold state in this location
  • Only check in items with no stock: Do not allow assets with stock to be checked into this location

Step 3: Update the fields on the Capacity tab:

  • Maximum combined capacity: total number of assets allowed in the location

The capacity can be edited or removed by hovering over the panel, and then selecting one of the buttons:

Set the toggle to on if any other category of asset can be checked into the location, or off if only the capacity setup for the location must be allowed to be checked in.

Step 5: Update the fields on the Thresholds tab:

This tab will display the inventory items currently in the location. Set the threshold for each inventory item in the location. If the inventory is below threshold a message will be displayed on the home dashboard. Threshold details can also be viewed on the Inventory Threshold report.

Step 5: Update the fields on the Checkflow tab:
