Before defining any Inventory Organization, we need to have a Master Inventory Organization which acts as a central repository for items. After we have defined the Master Inventory Organization, we need to define its organization parameters. Generally we give the code 'IMM' to denote the Inventory Item Master Organization.

We need to attach the Master Organization in the Organization parameters. Attach the Inventory Calendar.

Refer to document 'Define Inventory Calendar'.

Configure the Inventory Parameters including locator control.
