BlueBox Location Types

BlueBox ERP has a number of types which can be applied to any location:

Finished Goods Node: Defaults the "Finish At" location to the nearest Finished Goods node on works orders. Used as a pack to location when adding stock (GRN/WO Builds) if none set and the item has no default stock location. Also used as the default "From Location" on bb_sales_point_of_sale_tillslips and bb_sales_orders when allocating stock if there's no from/despatch location already set.

Despatch Node: Defaults the "Despatch From" to the nearest Despatch Node on sales orders.

Jobbing Node: Defaults the "Return To" location on inventory returns

Non Sales Node: Stops users from creating Sales documents within flagged locations. Also stops users from selecting flagged locations from within sales modules (ie. any To/From location selections) [NOTE: This is a recent change. before it blocked all non-sales locations on all docs]. Finally, it will also exclude flagged locations when checking for available stock when the To Document is not bb_manufacturing_works_orders/bb_inventory_pick_pack_slips (so applies to all other documents).

Non Transfer In Node: The "Deliver To" location cannot be a non-transfer in node on GRNs. It also excludes/blocks non-transfer in nodes in the "To Location" on Internal Transfer Notes/Pick Pack Slips.

Isolation Node: Stops these locations from being used as the source in auto-allocation of stock. However, it will not block stock requests if the primary from location is an isolation node (allowing stock to be manually moved into and out of isolation areas).

Exclude From Pick Slips: Stops these locations from being used in the "From Location" when generating a pick slip.

Write Off Node: Stock transfered into locations with this flag are automatically set to the Written Off status.
