Locations Page (Fields)

Field	Description
Location Name	The name of the location.
Location Description	The description of the location.
Working Calendar	The working calendar for the location.
Critical	Yes indicates that the location is critical to the operation.
Active	An indicator of whether the Location is enabled in Servigistics. • Yes, indicates that the Location is enabled (active) in Servigistics, and orders will be recommended for this location • No, indicates that the Location is disabled (not active) in Servigistics, and orders are not recommended for this location
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.
Parent	The parent of the location in the replenishment hierarchy. Note that if the location is a central location, then Parent will be set to Self.
Like 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.
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.
Region	The geographic area to which a location is assigned. Regions are defined on the Regions page and can then be assigned to a location on the Locations page. Regions can be used for aggregation and other configurations such as segmentation.
Demand Increment 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.
Bin Type	Indicates the type of location bin. • Demand, or d, is a demand bin, which is a bin location for which forecasting will not run. Demand for the bin rolls up to the parent location and the forecast will be generated at the parent location. • Forecast, or f, is a forecast bin, which is a bin location for which forecasting is run. The forecast is rolled up to the parent location.
Location Type	The type of this location in the procurement and replenishment hierarchy.
Network	A set of related locations, defined on the Networks page. Networks allow balancing of excess quantities of On Hand stock to be limited to the selected Locations that are within the Network. Locations outside of the Network are not balanced.
Process Group	A group of locations that can be processed together by an AutoPilot process. Since data from the host system is normally processed in Servigistics once per day, using a Process Group enables more frequent processing of host data without disrupting the daily AutoPilot processing. Process groups are defined on the Process Groups page.
Status	The status of the location.
Address (1–2)	The street where the location resides, which can be entered on the Address 1 and Address 2 lines.
City	The city associated with the address.
State	The state associated with the address.
Postal Code	The postal code for the area that the location is within.
Country	The country for the location.
Latitude	The latitude of the location.
Longitude	The longitude of the location.
Is Geolocated	An indicator of whether latitude and longitude values were found for the location or install site during a run of the Geo Locate AutoPilot process . • Yes indicates that the location or install site is tagged with latitude and longitude values. • No indicates that either the Geo Locate AutoPilot process was not run or it ran and no latitude or longitude values were found for the location or install site.
Geo Quality of Match	Specifies accuracy of the latitude and longitude for the location. Field values could be one of the following geolocation quality of match codes: • 8 - Address Match • 5 - Postal Match • 4 - City Match • 2 - State Match • 1 -- Country Match
Geo Source	The source of the latitude and longitude values, where: • u = user input • g = Google geolocated
Created By	The name of the user that entered the record.
Created Date/Time	The date/time that the user entered the record.
Update By	The user that made the most recent update to the record.
Updated Date/Time	The date/time that the user made the most recent update to the record.
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).
Host Location ID	The name of the location from the host system.

Field	Description
Enable Alternate Transport Mode	Yes indicates that the alternate transport mode feature is enabled.
Procurement Backorder Threshold Days	Number of backordered procurement days allowed, which can be any number of days depending upon need (for example, 0, 1, 10, etc.).
Procurement Backorder Threshold LeadTime Multiplier	User-defined factor of procurement lead time, which can be any value (for example, .2, .5, etc.).
Replenishment Backorder Threshold Days	Number of backordered replenishment days allowed, which can be any number of days depending upon need (for example, 0, 1, 10, etc.).
Replenishment Backorder Threshold LeadTime Multiplier	User-defined factor of replenishment lead time, which can be any value (for example, .2, .5, etc.).

Field

Description

Processing Length

The number of days that it takes for a source to make a part available for shipping to a receiving/stocking location.

Processing Standard Deviation

The standard deviation that corresponds with the Processing Length.

Put Away Length

The number of days that it will take to receive and store (put away) parts for this location. This value is used in order planning to determine an estimated available date.

Put Away Standard Deviation

The standard deviation for Put Away Length, expressed in days. The standard deviation is a factor in calculating Safety Stock.

Use Working Calendar for Receiving

Yes indicates that this location will use the calendar selected for the Working Calendar Name field for the receiving process.

Use Working Calendar for Shipping

Yes indicates that this location will use the calendar selected for the Working Calendar Name field for the shipping process.

Ordering Calendar

The name of the ordering calendar for the location.

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. 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 Stockis 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.

Disconnected Replenishment

Yes indicates that replenishment orders generated from the destination location will only be recognized at the upstream location when orders are approved.

Replenishment Source Internal Stream

If this location's replenishments are disconnected (Replenishment Disconnected set to Yes), then this field defines the forecast stream at the replenishment source location that will be used to net this location's approved replenishment orders against forecasts.

Field	Description
Price Active	Yes indicates that this location will be included in pricing.
Dealer	Yes indicates that this location is a dealer location. When Dealer and Sub Location are both set to No, the location is a pricing location (or regular location).
Pricing Market	The pricing market to which this location belongs.

Field	Description
Location Custom	Custom fields for locations derived from the IPCS_LOC_MASTER table.

Field	Description
Include in Network Optimization	Yes indicates that the install base will be available to be included in the Network Optimization process.
Network Optimization Priority	An install site can be covered by multiple stocking locations. The priority setting is an integer that ranks the location's priority and determines which stocking location should be assigned to an install site when more than one stocking location is recommended to cover an install site. 1 is the highest priority ranking.
Network Optimization Lock	When Yes, the Location Active setting will be locked regardless of Network Optimization results.
Location Startup Cost	The fixed cost to start up a stocking location.
Location Shutdown Cost	The fixed cost to close a stocking location for a year.
Location Fixed Cost	The fixed cost to operate a stocking location for a year.
Carbon Tax Rate	The tax applied to the production of carbon as expressed in units that are configured by the CARBON_MEASURE_TYPE global setting. The Carbon Tax Rate can be set by location, region, or by the system level using the CARBON_TAX_RATE global setting. The system uses a waterfall approach for determining the Carbon Tax Rate to apply: • The value set on the Location is given priority. • If no value is set on the Location, then the value set on the Region is used. • If no value is set on the Region, then the global setting value is used.
Miles Per Hour	How fast you can travel (as the crow flies) from the stocking location to a customer site.
Staging Time	Total preparation or load time in hours (for example, 0.5).
Local Stock	Set to Yes to indicate the stock is located near where it will be consumed, such as a storage closet.
