Location in EFP refers to who OWNS the merchandise. Locations can be virtual or real. Part numbers in EFP2 began with a "C" if the stock was customer-owned or an "A" if the stock was ATS owned. Now, all part numbers begin with a "1" and the Stock is either in the Customer or ATS location.
Do not think of a location like "Warehouse 3", but strictly as WHO OWNS THE MERCHANDISE.
All Sites are set up with the following locations at go-live:
1. ATS: for ATS-Owned Merchandise
This is classified for "normally usable" stock.
1.1. If your site has Customer-Only merchandise, the majority of your bins will be set up in the Customer location. Your ATS location might look something like this:
- The only bins are for work order consumption and putaway.
The opposite would be true if you have only ATS-owned merchandise.
2. Customer: for Customer-Owned Merchandise
This is classified for "normally usable" stock.
2.1. In our example, if the site has all Customer-owned merchandise, the bins would be under the Customer Location.
- BINS are where the stock is actually held and can be virtual or real.
- Note that there is a -R bin for "Repaired Stock" associated with every New Stock Bin.
3. If you happen to be in a site that has both Customer and ATS-owned merchandise, you will very likely see both the same bins under both locations.
- The Bin numbers are the same as bins and can be virtual. You could also have a Customer-owned part and an ATS-owned part in the same bin.
4. Core: Will be used in the future for parts being sent out for repair or for holding before SCRAP.
This is classified as "normally UNusable" stock.
