Components at Location Field, Manufacturing Setup Table
Specifies the inventory location from where the production order components are to be taken if you have not specified a location on a stockkeeping unit card.
This field, together with the Locations Mandatory field in the Inventory Setup window, is very important in governing how the planning system handles demand lines with/without location codes. See Planning with/without Locations.
For production demand that is purchased (when the planning engine is used solely for purchase planning and not for production planning), the program will use the same location for components as the one stated on the production order. However, by filling in this field, you can redirect the components to another location.
You can also define this for a specific SKU by selecting a different location code in the Components at Location field on the SKU card. Note, however, that this rarely makes sense as the planning logic may be distorted when planning for the SKU component.
Note
If you often plan for demand at different locations, then it is strongly advised to use the Stockkeeping Units feature.
