Inventory Locations

Use Inventory Locations to define warehouses, stores, yards, vehicles, or other places where stock quantities are tracked separately.

Before you begin

  • Decide the physical and operational boundaries of each location.
  • Choose a short, stable location code.
  • Confirm which location should be the company default.

Create a location

  1. Enter a unique Location Code and clear Location Name.
  2. Complete the address and contact details used on receiving or delivery documents.
  3. Save the location.
  4. Configure users, branches, replenishment, or default-location settings that depend on it.
  5. Test a stock inquiry or test transaction before live use.

Design guidance

  • Create separate locations only when quantities must be controlled separately.
  • Do not reuse a location code for a different physical place.
  • Restrict access when a user should transact only in selected warehouses.
  • Keep transit, quarantine, damaged, or consignment stock separate when your controls require it.

Important: A location with transaction history should normally be made inactive rather than deleted or repurposed.
