What Material Centers does

Understand the screen before creating or changing records.

Material Centers represent the physical places where your organization stores or manages material, such as a warehouse, godown, storage location or other inventory center.

Each center can keep its own location, manager and contact information together with total capacity, current utilization and optional warning or critical thresholds.

The screen combines organization-created and system centers. Protected system records can remain visible for normal use even when editing or deletion is restricted.

Create or configure

Follow the screen flow in order.

01. Open Add Material Center

Use the first tab to create a new center. When an existing editable center is opened for editing, VauPrime returns you to this same form with its saved values.

02. Enter center and location details

Add the material center name, location, city and state. Description can be used to add extra context about the center.

03. Assign the primary manager

Enter the primary manager and contact number so the responsible person is visible with the center.

04. Configure storage capacity

Set total capacity, choose the capacity unit and enter current utilization. VauPrime calculates the utilization percentage from these values.

05. Set optional thresholds and image

Warning and critical percentages are optional. You can also add one center image for easier identification.

06. Save the material center

Choose Save Material Center. After a successful save, the center is refreshed in the existing centers list.

All Material Centers

Search, review and manage the records already created for the organization.

Search matches the center name, location or manager name.
Filter the list by All, User or System center type.
Opening a center shows basic information, manager/contact details, capacity, utilization and configured thresholds.
Utilization is presented as a percentage with a progress indicator so high-capacity use is easier to identify.
Editable and deletable permissions can differ per center, especially for protected system centers.
Enabled or disabled status can be changed for supported centers from the existing-record actions.

Buttons and record actions

What happens when you use the main actions on this screen.

View details

Open a center to review location, contact and complete storage-capacity information.

Edit

Loads an editable center into the Add Material Center form. Protected centers show a warning instead of opening edit mode.

Enable / Disable

Changes whether the material center is enabled while keeping the record available for management.

Delete

Shows a confirmation first. Protected centers cannot be deleted, and deletion can be blocked when the center has active inventory or pending transfers.

Important notes and common issues

Use these checks when an action is unavailable or a save does not complete.

Protected center

If VauPrime says a center is protected, its edit or delete permission is intentionally disabled. Continue using the center without trying to recreate the system record.

Cannot delete because the center is in use

Clear the related active inventory or pending transfer dependency first, then retry deletion.

Capacity status

Utilization remains Normal until it reaches your warning threshold, then becomes Warning; reaching the critical threshold changes it to Critical.

Center list does not load

Confirm that you are signed in and that the correct organization is selected, then refresh the list.
