Location Codes - Location 2 - Secondary Location 

​

If you sell merchandise in multiple locations in your store then those SKUs need a secondary location. For example, if you sell your Post Levels in your tool aisle and also with your mailbox posts (not a bad idea) then enter the location of your mailbox posts in Location 2 (click on the Location hyperlink in the Stocking tab of Inventory Maintenance).

Using multiple locations has multiple benefits

  • They print on your Mango Count Sheets underneath the SKU's primary location!
  • They can print on your bin tags (see Printing Bin Labels).
  • Your Mango Shrink Report will show "Multi+" in the Research Reason column indicating a possible incorrect count due to the SKU being merchandised in multiple locations.
  • You can use a viewer to see all your SKUs in multiple locations by viewing and filtering on Location 2.
  • *You can see them in PIP for variance research (we are currently working with Epicor to make this work).
  • Items will be included in Mango's Closeout Management process by following these guidelines:
    • MDR and the year closed out (MDR16).
    • Store Closeout = Y (Codes tab of Inventory Maintenance)
Steps to add a secondary location
  1. Click on the blue underlined "Location" text in Inventory Maintenance to display the SKU's Location Maintenance window.
  2. Enter the secondary location.
  3. You can also set the number of bin labels to print in the Codes tab (second column, lower) so that multiple bin labels will print for price changes, etc.
Hints
  • Use the shelf location of the closest related product for the SKU's secondary location.
  • Do not use "C" to in center location position to indicate clip strip (a previous best practice)*
  • Update # of Bin Labels to the number of total facing throughout the multiple locations. This helps ensure all facing are updated when pricing changes.
  • If a SKU has more than one secondary location, skip Location 3 (that is reserved for something else, see next section) and use Location 4, etc.

 

The example above shows a post level with a primary location of 11R12 (tool aisle in this store) which also sells in a secondary location next to the mailbox posts (06L05 in this store).

*The previous best practice of entering a "C" in the center position to indicate a clip strip location has been depreciated. The best way to locate a clip strip is to use the location of the related product. This way we can analyze which SKUs sell best with which related product and make a recommended secondary location report for your store.
