Can you clarify, when I create a new item in IC, then go to the Location tab, I am assuming that I should only make the item active the at our main location? This is location where the product will be initially received. The other branches I am assuming should be left at "on demand". No sense activating all them since they may never get any of the particular item. I tested this and the pick sequence shows up correctly in Item Inquiry on the Quanties tab. I assume the other branches will become active if and when they get quantitites on hand of the item?

I still don't understand why when we set up a new code (and do not make it active in IC on the location tab) but order it in POA and make it active at that time, that it doesn't show up on the Item Inquiry Quantities tab? Why does making it active on the IC/Location tab work differently than making it active in POA?
