3.1.1. Business Requirements

1. Manage inventory. Provide way to track where items are stored in warehouse. Move items into new local storage locations. An item may be stored in multiple locations in the warehouse. Provide capability to combine locations and split locations. All movement that leaves a physical location will go out through the shipping module and come in through the receiving module.

2. A physical location (a building, a business address etc) may have many warehouses.

3. For each item in each storage location in each warehouse keep track of actual quantity on hand.

4. Bin Types. Each bin can utilize user definable types (i.e. static bin, movable bin, cart, reels etc.)

5. The storage locations will be defined using user definable locations like floors, isles, stands, columns, bins, etc.
