Set up different stores for a retailer in Business Central

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by buscen 5

Hey there, 

I'm setting up Business Central for a retail company with multiple stores. To create the individual stores, I started to set up locations on the location card. Is this the right way? 

Each location holds different articles, and for each store the inventory planning differs. To plan the item replenishing, I started to set up stockkeeping units for each article in each location. But I'm not sure if I'm on the right path...

I am totally new to Dynamics and would be very thankful for your advice! :)

    RE: Set up different stores for a retailer in Business Central

    Hello,

    Yes, if you are creating BC for a Retailer, setup each Store as a Location. Then create a stockkeeping unit per Location, for all the Items. Then setup and define the Replenishment and Planning parameters. You are on the correct path.

    One thing... If this is Retail, are you using a Sales Order process or is this storefront, counter sales, whereby you need a POS solution? If POS, you might consider looking at: www.dmsiworks.com/.../

    It has a simple setup for POS, if that is what you need too.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    From what you have described the approach seems well thought out. The items in the locations would be the next major piece of setup as you have the choice to do variants for colour and size mixes. Stock keeping units then offer the chance to plan differently on location & variant if needed.

    I suggest you to consult with an MS Partner and provide all your requirements because there are a lot of details you need to provide before you start implementing the BC.  If you are just concerned with Inventory being separated then yes Locations will work.
