Locations dataset containing metadata for stores, distribution centres, and other inventory sites used by the Rebuy & Replenishment capability of the Merchandising solution.
The locations dataset contains metadata for the locations used by the Rebuy & Replenishment capability. Locations typically represent stores, distribution centres, or other sites where inventory is stored, replenished, or planned.
This dataset provides contextual information about where inventory exists and how locations function within the supply chain.
Purpose
The Rebuy & Replenishment capability uses the locations dataset to:
- Identify where inventory is held or replenished
- Distinguish between different types of locations, such as stores and distribution centres
- Support analysis and reporting across the supply network
During analysis, location metadata helps the solution correctly interpret inventory flows and planning behavior across the network.

Usage notes
- Every location referenced in other datasets (for example, Stock, Sales, Purchase orders, or Transfers) must exist in the locations dataset.
- Location identifiers must be consistent across all datasets.
- The
is_store,is_dc, andis_factoryflags help distinguish how locations are treated in planning and analysis. - If additional location attributes are required for specific use cases, they can be incorporated during onboarding.
