	The PRS Stock warehousing system is built on the concept of stock holdings, which are groups of products of the same catalogue number, style, size, held in a particular location. Holdings within PRS are automatically created as products are received into the warehouse, and closed off once the products within that holding are issued from the warehouse. Holdings are grouped into Locations, which can in turn be grouped into Areas and Warehouses, allowing scalability of the system from a simple, single-location store to a distributed multi-warehouse network.		= Overview =

A Stock Location represents a single physical location holding one or more stock holdings. Generally, stock locations represent racks, shelves, bins or pallets that hold stock in a specific place within the warehouse.

	A stock location can be marked as either "permanent" or "temporary" location. Temporary locations (eg a pallet or shipping container) represent stock that is generally reserved for a specific job or task, and is automatically ~~disposed~~ of when the stock holdings contained in it are exhausted. By contrast, permanent stock locations (eg a shelf or a rack) exist over a long period of time, and remain active whether or not they actually have stock holdings.

By allowing the location to be moved (rather than being deleted and re-created), the historical record of item movement in and out of the location can be maintained, eliminating the possibility of data loss.

			A location can be marked as "Default" for its current Area and Warehouse - if this is the case, then products received into stock are by default moved into this location. This is useful when defining a "Receivals Bay" for incoming goods - the Purchase Order / Consignment can be quickly received into this location, and the individual items subsequently transferred to their final locations at a later time.
