Define Stock Locators Flexfield (Required)

                                                        Next: Define Account Aliases Flexfield

Navigation: Setup --> Flexfields --> Key --> Segments

If you keep track of specific locators such as aisle, row, bin indicators for your items, you need to configure your Stock Locators Flexfield and implement locator control in your organization. You must indicate how many separate segments your flexfield has, how many characters each segment has, and whether you want to validate the values that you assign to the segments. Once you define the structure of your flexfield and any applicable value sets, you must freeze and compile your flexfield definition. 

Compiling the flexfield definition enables the Stock Locators Flexfield pop-up window. Even if you do not implement locator control, you must still compile the Stock Locators Flexfield because all Oracle Inventory transaction and on-hand inquiries and reports require a frozen flexfield definition. However you do not need to configure the flexfield in a specific way.

Note: Whenever you recompile the stock locator field definition, you must run the concurrent program Generate Stock Locator Flexfield Definition for Mobile Transactions to recompile the flex definition used for mobile transactions.

Note: If you use Mobile Supply Chain Applications or Warehouse Management, you need to bound the server to view the change.
