Location Search

Overview:

       Inventory is required at different locations within a business in order to function smoothly and without hindrance. For this reason, inventory Locations are used to consolidate and manage all goods and material that a business holds for the purpose of resale or repair.   Inventory Locations allow you to specify availability and status of a product.  An inventory location can be a truck for field services, a warehouse, or anywhere material may be stored.
