Default Stock Location

The default stock location determines the stock location from which inventoried products will be pulled if inventory assignment has not yet occurred. In other words, if you have not specifically assigned a particular inventory item for a job charge, it will be taken from the job's default stock location.

A Default Stock Location drop-down list appears on the Products/Services tab of a job record. It automatically defaults to the organization's stock location. You can change the default stock location at any point by selecting a new stock location from the Default Stock Location drop-down list..

ServiceCEO will automatically use inventory items from the default stock location when completing the job, unless at least one of two things occur:
