Setup stockroomsAs a Stockroom Manager, I want/need to create parent-child relationships to support stockroom management so that stockroom items are better managed.I know this is done when stockrooms are set up and details are available.

 My area of interest in the above questions is like i need to setup parent-child relationship for stockroom. In servicenow, is there any relationship auto-mapped for stockroom. Or-else we need to setup, If need to setup i can create a new field as (parent) in the stockroom form. But my, perspective is to achieve without creating a new field.

Hi @SRIRAMSANKAR007 

 


The Stockroom [alm_stockroom] table already has a field called parent.

 

Field name: parent

Reference: alm_stockroom (self-reference to Stockroom)


This is meant exactly for parent–child relationships between stockrooms.

  • Example:
    • Parent stockroom = “Main Warehouse”
    • Child stockroom = “Floor 3 Storage” (parent = Main Warehouse)

 

So you don’t need to create a new field — it’s there in the base system.

 

 

How to use it

  1. Go to All → Stock → Stockrooms.
  2. Open a stockroom record.
  3. In the form layout, check if the Parent field is visible.
    • If not, personalize the form layout and add the parent field.
  4. For any stockroom you want to be a child, set its Parent to another stockroom.
