Important Points
Economic order quantity data and calculations are by location.
FASuite flags the parts you need to reorder for each location when the total stock level at the location is low. You can, of course, order parts even when current stock level is above the reorder point. You can also use the Data -> Parts Activity -> Stock Transfers screen to move a quantity of a part directly from one location to another.
