Moving from a warehouse to a LUM program

unknown

Has anyone gone through the process of transitioning from a warehouse to a LUM program? We're in the process of reviewing our options and I am trying to understand what all is going to be involved. We currently have 3 physical inventory locations - our main warehouse and two stat rooms at two different facilities. We have, at minimum, 15-20 facilities that our distributor will be shipping to in we proceed with the LUM program. My main cause of concern is - will we need to create IC12 records for every location? Can we have one location (outside of the two stat rooms), that can be used as the main item location file, but will allow items to be shipped to all the different facilities?

Thanks in advance for all and any help on this topic.

Kyle, there is probably more than one way to do this but we went to LUM last year. I did not set up new IC12 for each location. I set up an RQ01, the RQ01 I have pointing to the appropriate IC12 location only for different ship to physical locations. Then I use the IC82/IC81 forms to set up and maintain the par levels and vendors etc. I then put the rq01 location code in the GHX set for each location with a physical location. Such as RQ01 is 5320B=5320B Operating room 4. I make sure our distributor matches that description exactly as well.
