About Locations
Locations are used in ManageMore as the main dividing system of all data. Do not be confused by the name, however. Locations are meant for much more than physical locations or territories. You can use locations for any division or separation of data, such as: items in transit, work in progress, unfinished goods, outside sales representatives, holding facilities, or departments. Most businesses will benefit from using locations.
Customers, transactions, and financial data can all be grouped by this valuable field. You will want to consider your reporting needs when setting up this table.

|
| Q02. | I cannot change the name and address of my main location from this screen. How do I change this information?

|
| Q03. | Should I create a location to represent merchandise given on consignment to an outside salesperson or foreign establishment?
|
| A03. | Absolutely. A location in the program is primarily a division in inventories. Therefore, anyplace that can be considered a different set of inventory can be considered a different location. Locations make it easier to identify where merchandise is presently being stored.
