5.7 Creating New Locations

The Create New Location screen allows you to add a new Location to an existing Site or a new Location
to a new Site. Locations are places within a Site where inventory resides. The site is usually a building,
but it might also be a fleet vehicle, with one more bins that can be defined as inventory Locations within
that vehicle. For example, a site might be setup as Building 1 with a location of Supply Closet.

A location is typically shorthand for a physical place such as a shelf in your warehouse. Commonly used
conventions include Location codes like this:

01 02 05 (for Row #, Shelf #, Bin #)

When you are setting up your software for the first time, you may want to import your locations rather than
adding them one at a time through this screen. For information on importing information into your
database, please refer to the

Import Into Database

topic.
