About

  • Purpose: containers in which stock may be found
  • Refers to: stk_places
  • Fields:
    • WhenCreated can be NOT NULL if you don't have any legacy data to deal with.
    • isForShip eventually got added because I kept forgetting to use WhenVoided, and I finally decided that it wasn't redundant to have a flag specifically for this attribute. It has two meanings which may eventually need to be separated into separate fields:
      • A. FALSE = do not ship this item, even though we have it on site (why would this happen? not sure if needed)
      • B. FALSE = this bin is not physically accessible to the shipping department; items must be shipped by someone at that location or sent here to be shipped from this location. This meaning should actually be reflected by the Warehouse set in stk_places, but that's going to take a little thinking to implement that properly because it's hierarchical. Administrators operating at a given location should only be able to move items into (or out of) bins at that location. Right now, we just globally say that some bins are unreachable: not as good, but much easier to implement. Fix later.
