It is automatically initialized based on the location type if it is specified, if it is not the first free location specified in the product-site record is proposed. The location type and the location defined in this record can refer to a group of location types and/or locations if the wildcards (?,*) are used in their definition (see the Location types and Product/site documentations). In some location types, the allocation will also depend on their availability or capacity (replenishment management).
If a location of type Quay has been entered in the return header, it is this location that systematically is proposed by default. Locations of type Quay are proposed for selection only if the entry transaction setup allows Receipts on quay.
A location type and / or a location are not necessarily to be entered on the return line; it can happen that the returned material is distributed over several storage locations. If they are not entered, the Stock detail window opens automatically at line end for the distribution to be entered. When several location types and / or locations have been allocated and when there is a sub-detail for stock lines, the $ symbol appears in these fields at entry end on the document line.
