Location

A location is the warehouse (including your own warehouse(s) and storage locations) used to store product at the location/lot level. You can set up locations as needed and define locations to be "slotted" as well. (A slot is a physical location within the warehouse, such as a shelf, bin, or rack.)

Locations contain inventory that is lot controlled. Lot numbers can be manually assigned or generated automatically based on the lot number default setting defined in Inventory Options. Individually lot-costed items can be automatically assigned lot numbers at the location level.
