- The end result will be a report that will list all the Part records that you have Qty Available and Stock on Hand but no location indicated
Locations on the Unit Record (Stocked Unit)
Location field on the Stocked Unit Record is a little bit different - it is a free text field so that the user can just type in a location
Navigate to the relevant Unit Record > click on
From the Edit Stock Unit screen If the field is not listing, simply click on then select Location

This field is a free text for the user to type in whatever they need to type in - don't forget to
When running Stock Unit Reports, you can add in a Location column and whatever has been typed into the free text as Location, will list
For example
We have added a free text Location called Lot 2 on this Stock Unit Record
When we run a Stock Unit Valuation Report and add the column for Location, it will list the Location as per the free text information
