Summary

The Location Maintenance window is used to create and maintain the physical and mailing addresses of your organization. Location records are the physical or mailing address of departments, offices or warehouses belonging to your organization and can be used throughout the application to reduce data entry. For example, locations created in the Location Maintenance window can be attached to purchase orders and used as the ship to address (PO> Purchase Orders> Purchase Orders> Create icon> Shipping Address field).

The primary organization name and address are set up in the System Setup window (SS> Utilities> System Setup).
