Location Properties Page — General Tab (Fields)
The following the fields that appear on the page by section.
General
Field
Description
Location ID
Servigistics ID for the location.
Location Name
The name of the location.
Location Description
The description of the location.
Working Calendar
The working calendar for the location.
Replenishment Source Location Override
Normally, the central location is the source for replenishment action. However, this setting allows you to set a new replenishment source location for this location only. The location you select for this option will override the replenishment location set in the action parameters.
Procurement Allowed
Normally, procurement is done only at central locations. However, in order to satisfy specific requirements within the service network, procurement actions may be permitted at certain field locations.
Yes indicates that procurement actions will be allowed at the location. This setting overrides the action parameter settings.
Repair Allowed
Normally, repair is ordered only by central locations. However, to satisfy specific requirements within the service network, repair actions may be permitted at certain field locations.
Yes indicates that repair actions will be allowed at the location. This setting overrides the action parameter settings.
Buffer Days for Future Chain Parts
An optional buffer period (in days) that can be subtracted from the Effective Date calculation for the Future Part Chains feature.
The value is waterfalled (location, location type).
Status
Field
Description
Active
Yes indicates that the location is enabled (active) in Servigistics; No indicates that the location is disabled in Servigistics. For example, when set to Yes, Servigistics will recommend orders for this location.
Critical
Yes indicates that the location is critical to the operation.
Belongs To
Field
Description
Location Type
The type of this location in the procurement and replenishment hierarchy.
Region
The geographic area to which a location is assigned. Regions are defined on the Regions page and can be used for aggregation and other configurations such as segmentation.
Like
Field
Description
Location
Can be used if the location is new and has no demand history. This similar location will be used to estimate demand for the location. Note that the estimate will be modified for this location by the Demand Inc Factor.
Factor
If Like Location is used, demand history from the like location is multiplied by the Demand Increment (Inc) Factor (a demand increase percentage) to recognize any aspects of the new location that may affect demand.
Setting this percentage to other than 100% will bias the demand borrowed from the like location to account for differences.
Fair Share
Field
Description
Fair Share Priority
The Fair Share Priority for this location.
Fair Share Priority is a feature that is used when replenishment requests are being made for more than is available at the source (replenishing) location. Here's how it works. If there is not enough stock at the source location, then all field locations requesting replenishment are provided with enough of the part to reach Safety Stock in Fair Share Priority order. This means that the location assigned Fair Share Priority 1 is replenished to Safety Stock first, Priority 2 is second, and so on until all locations (up to 99) are brought to Safety Stock. Then, if there is still part stock left, the cycle starts again, but this time the central location replenishes the locations in priority order until they reach the ROP. Any remaining stock is distributed on the basis of number of Days On Hand, meaning that the SKU with the least gets another part.
This value can be overridden at the SKU level.
* 
This feature is only an advisory tool - it is not enforced in Servigistics. When the situation arises that central location cannot replenish all requesting locations, a "fair share" advisory quantity is recommended to the user.
Fair Share Reserve
The percentage of Safety Stock to be held as stock at the source location to cover external demand at upstream replenishment locations. This supply cannot be consumed by downstream replenishment demand.
Fair Share Reserve Quantity
Since Fair Share Reserve is a percentage of Safety Stock, in situations where Safety Stock is calculated to be zero (0), Fair Share Reserve will also be zero (0) and will not protect available inventory from downstream requirements.
To support this scenario, Fair Share Reserve Quantity can be used to specify a quantity of stock to be held at the source location to cover external demand at upstream replenishment locations. This supply cannot be consumed by downstream replenishment demand.

Field
Description
Address 1
Address 2
State
Country
Postal Code
The address for the location.
Latitude
The latitude of the location.
Longitude
The longitude of the location.
Miles Per Hour
The typical miles per hour speed driven for the location. This value is used to calculate the time to drive to a location from the closest field location, where:
Time To Location = Distance (from zip centroid of stocking location to centroid of customer location) / Miles Per Hour)
Pricing
Field
Description
Price Active
[Used for pricing]
Yes indicates that this location will be included in pricing.
Pricing Market Name
[Used for pricing]
