Multiple locations can be created. Each location includes a sections called “Location Weight Capacity and Child Location Capacity”

The Max Weight Capacity , Current Used Weight, and Remaining Capacity fields are also visible in the tree view.

The administrator user cannot set the parent location’s maximum weight capacity lower than the total weight capacity of its child locations. If attempted, a validation message will appear.

A validation message will also appear if the total weight capacity of child locations exceeds the maximum weight capacity defined for the parent location.

When a user changes a product’s weight, a warning appears : “Changing the product weight may affect the 'Current Used Weight' and 'Remaining Capacity' of warehouse locations where this product is stored.”

When a user add or updates the product quantity from the Physical Inventory, a warning appears: “Changing the product weight may affect the ‘Current Used Weight’ and ‘Remaining Capacity’ of warehouse locations where this product is stored.”

If any operation (such as receiving or transferring products) causes the location capacity to exceed its limit, approval from the Responsible Users of the respective location.

When validating a Purchase Order Receipt or Internal Transfer, if the weight exceeds the defined capacity, an email notification is sent to Responsible user of the respective location, and the responsible user was not assigned then the approval from the Inventory Administrator.

The email includes detailed information about the location’s weight capacity and provides a button to redirect to the particular transfer records.

A new “Approve Weight Capacity” button is available for Inventory Administrator users. Once the request is approved, an email is sent to the responsible user for further validation.

There was also button "Resend Approval Request" for the sent the request again.
