Copy Stock Codes to New Warehouses

You use this program to create warehouse records for a selective range of stock items.

Although the Inventory Warehouse Maintenance for Stock Code program allows you to assign a stock item to multiple warehouses, this can only be performed for one stock item at a time. The Copy Stock Codes to New Warehouses program allows you to perform a similar function, but for a range of stock items (including a list of items).
