Adding a Location

A location is added to a site; it is tracked by the location name, which is required. A site may have an unlimited amount of locations. To add a location, one at a time, use the Manage Locations page; see "How to Add a Location". To add many locations at once, use the Location Wizard; see "Using the Location Wizard". After a location is added to the system, you may add inventory to it, move items to and from locations, and issue, pick, receive, and return inventory to it.
