Set up a new location
If you buy, store, or sell items at more than one place or warehouse, you need to set up each location with a location card.
The location card contains general information, such as name and address, but it also contains fields to enable warehouse tasks and bins.
To set up a new location, follow these steps:
Select the Search for page icon in the upper-right corner of the page, enter locations, and then select the related link.
Select New.
In the Code field, enter the code of the location.
In the Name field, enter the name of the location.
On the Address & Contact FastTab, you can enter the address details of the location.
The Use As In-Transit field is used to specify if a location is used to transfer items between two locations. Transfer orders are covered in another module of this learning path.
By assigning default dimensions to locations, Business Central copies the dimensions and dimension values to the following documents:
Transfer orders
Physical inventory orders
Inventory shipments
Inventory receipts
Item journals
To assign default dimensions to a location, follow these steps:
Select the Search for page icon in the upper-right corner of the page, enter locations, and then select the related link.
Open the location card to which you want to assign default dimensions.
Select Dimensions.
On the Default Dimensions page, enter the dimension, dimension value, and value posting.
This procedure sets up a basic location in Business Central. The Warehouse, Bins, and Bin Policies FastTabs are explained in other learning paths.
