Use this dialog box to remove the location records created for the inventory parts including the serialized and configured parts, which have a zero quantity on-hand and are not frozen. This is performed prior to generating a count report. Note: Inventory locations are not removed by using the cleanup of inventory routine.
Each time an inventory part is created in a new location, the corresponding location record for the part is created and it can be viewed, for example, in the Inventory Part in Stock window. The last transaction date for the location of the inventory part is used to determine if a cleanup should be performed. You can either perform a cleanup of inventory directly, or schedule the task as a background job.
