How to Create a Building Type

Building Type organizes buildings with similar functions. For example, you can group all of your warehouses under one Building Type, customer’s onsite buildings as a second Building Type and customer-owned warehouses as a third building type.

This post outlines the process of creating a Building Type in SnapTracker.

Step-by-step instructions

From the left navigation bar, select Setup, then Building Setup.

The Building Type screen displays.

Here is where you can create a new Building Type.

1. In the Enter a Building Type box, type the Building Type Code. (Limit is 2 digit, such as “NN”).

Enter any additional description of the building type in Description 1 and Description 2, such as Customer’s own warehouse or For products of acceptable condition only.

2. Click Create.

The new Building Type is created.

Note

The Storage Indicator defines whether a building is being used as either a storage facility or is a customer facility by a Yes or No answer.

The In Out Charge Indicator determines if the Buildings organized under a Building Type qualify to generate a Piece In/Piece Out Movement Report.  The default is Yes whenever a new Building Type is added.

Once a Building Type is created, you may create different buildings and assign buildings to the appropriate Building Type. Only one Building Type is allowed per Building.
