Multiple inventory locations
Hi, we are considering moving from Accountright Plus to Premier, primarily to manage an expanding inventory in two locations. We have a warehouse in NSW and Qld. Inventory is stored in both warehouse...

Thanks...I thought that was the case...it's a pity that it's a half-way there function...I would expect that most businesses running inventory would require some level of detail.
My concern in setting up W1-A3 type locations is that this will make the inventory reports way too complicated as we have at least 50 sub-locations in which inventory is stored.
I have thought about using a custom field or custom list to record the sub-location but even this seems a bit clunky. I have tried this using the Clearwater data and changed the name of Custom List 1 to Warehouse Location. Whilst I can add the custom field or custom list to the view items screen, I don't seem to be able to change the text in the column header...it appears as "Custom Field 1", whereas it appears in the item details view as "Warehouse Location". Am I missing something here?
HI Tony2820
In testing this in AccountRight 2020.1 using a Clearwater file, changing the field and list names by going to Lists >> Custom Lists & Field Names >> Items The changes flowed through to the different inventory reports as expected.
If you were not seeing that information flow through as expected, I’d be inclined to clear the AccountRight cache. This refreshes a number of things in the background of AccountRight and should be sufficient to get those fields to update, assuming that the correct lists and field names have been updated.
Neil,
I have followed your instructions with mixed success. The changed label will come through to printable reports but does not change on the screen views - see attached photo...
Hi Tony2820
Those column headings are hardcoded in the system and cannot currently be changed. This is something I have raised with the relevant team, however at this stage I don’t have a timeframe on when this may be looked into and a potential resolution found.
Neil,
Thanks...at least I know that I'm not missing anything!
This would be a valued improvement from my perspective. Hopefully they listen to you.
