Hi All,
I am in process of creation of stockroom .Looking for mandatory/recommended fields which i should populate to make use of stockrooms.
- How stockroom types are related to stock room .What if i don't populate stockroom types(Central warehouse,FSL etc)
- What is the impact of adding stockrooms without an assignment group/manager.
- Also if we rename the existing stockrooms what would be the impact ?
- Are there any OOB BR or script include for the stock room process in HAM.
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

The following URL has details about stockrooms including key fields and relevance of stockroom types:
Location is a mandatory field for creating stockroom. 'Name' is also important. Type, Assignment group and Manager are recommended to be populated. Relevance of "Type' is explained in detail in the above URL. Assignment group and Manager fields are important for ongoing operations related to asset management (e.g. To verify or resolve any issues related to stocks that are available or expected to be received at a stockroom).
The main impact of renaming a stockroom would be possibility of confusion among asset operations teams during activities like asset procurement or transfers. If there is a business justification to rename the stockroom, the change in name should be informed to all asset management stakeholders to minimize impact like operational delays due to confusion with names.
There are 2 business rules which run on the stockroom table as follows:
Update asset location on location change
Validate Field Agent Type
It is also important to configure stock rules for automating how the stock will be replenished. This is done using Stock Rule [alm_stock_rule] table. There are some business rules which run on this table also.

Hello @_bhishek ,
It totally depends upon how big your warehouse is , so for that we have types of Warehouse , if you see Amazon need all these types of Warehouse because they deal in online shopping and need various types of Warehouse here what ServiceNow gives us OOTB:
Although all stockrooms function in nearly the same way, types of stockrooms that may have a specific purpose can be identified, such as:
- Central Warehouse
- Warehouse
- Pick Up/Drop Off (PUDO)
- Forward Shipping Location (FSL)
- On site (i.e., local stockroom)
The other questions of assigning manager is important for bigger stockrooms to manage it properly.
And Stockrooms totally depends upon the location so I am able to see only 2 business rules on stockroom tables , you can also check just go to stockroom table right click configure business rules.
Hope you get to know all the answers for your Questions.
