¶ Stock locations
¶ Overview
We've developed stock locations to add your warehouses where equipment (inventory items) is stored.
Config → Inventory → Stock locations:
This section is an easy-to-use list of available warehouses.
"Main", "Customer premises", and "Network site premises" are default locations and cannot be removed, but they can be renamed.
Network site premises (v6.0) is the stock-location type used for inventory items linked to a network site. It is assigned automatically when you link an item to a network site, and the value can be changed manually afterward.
