System Five on Cloud · Inventory Truth & True Cost

Warehouse Addressing

Warehouse Addressing is part of Inventory Truth & True Cost in Windward System Five. System Five includes 6 documented capabilities here — all 6 optional.

These 6 capabilities sit within System Five's 1287-capability documented set — a selection, not a ceiling.

Optional

Bulk location code generation Optional — Advanced Inventory Control #

Set up every bin without typing each one

A wizard generates whole matrices of location codes from segment counts, run repeatedly for areas with different layouts, with unwanted combinations filtered and deleted afterwards.

In stock versus available Optional — Advanced Inventory Control #

Know what you can actually promise

Every location view separates in-stock quantity — received and pickable — from available quantity, which excludes stock already committed to work orders.

Location cross-reference and stock moves Optional — Advanced Inventory Control #

Find every bin holding a part

You can look at a location and see every part in it, or at a part and see every location holding it, move a full quantity from one location to another for corrections, and use Stock Move for larger relocations.

Location defaults with controlled rollout Optional — Advanced Inventory Control #

Change bin settings without wrecking edits

Default settings are held per location segment, and changes can be applied to new codes only, to every existing code, or to every code except those already edited by hand.

Segmented location codes Optional — Advanced Inventory Control #

Match bin codes to the real warehouse

Location codes of up to 20 characters can be split by an optional mask into segments matching real physical structure — zone, row, shelf, bin — defined once, or per department.

Special purpose and quarantine locations Optional — Advanced Inventory Control #

Hold stock aside until it is cleared

Locations can be flagged as cross-dock or return, quarantined, marked as requiring picking, or set as full so incoming stock is not put away there.
