Managing Location Settings

The Manage Locations window consists of the following two tabs:

Main tab. Used to enter a location’s name and contact information, dangerous goods information, required on dangerous goods transportation documents, for products moving out of the selected location (e.g., 24 hour number), alternate pricing and taxes locations

Notes tab. Used to document any information you want about the location that appears on related reports.

Note

If you want to use the same settings at all locations, select <Company> from the list; however, only the Main tab is available to edit.
If you have only one location, <Company> is hidden.

Warehouse Locations and Postings

Warehouse locations do not have pricing; therefore, each warehouse requires an associated retail location from which to pull pricing and taxes. Similarly, you can redirect a regular location to a different location for pricing and taxes, if needed. Your postings and reports may show the redirected locations rather than the actual locations.

 

What you'll find:

Step 1: Complete the Main Tab

Step 2: Complete the Notes Tab

 

To manage your location settings, there are two steps to follow; however Step 2 is optional can be completed as needed. When you are finished adding the information needed, click Save.

Tips

If you would like to have the same note print for every location, choose Location=<Company>, type in the notes, and check On save update all locations with these notes before you Save.
If any Company notes are blank (no text entered), you'll be prompted: Do you want to empty out existing location notes?
Yes: Updates all notes for all locations including the blank notes - existing Location notes are overwritten with Company blank notes
No:  Updates all notes for all locations excluding the blank cells - existing Location notes are retained
If one location needs different notes, you can later edit the ones for just that location.

For Invoices and POS Invoice Notes only - the Current Location Notes are stored on the invoice when the invoice is saved. Even if the Locations Notes have been subsequently updated, the original Location Notes will display when reprinting the invoice at a later date (unless the invoice has been edited - at which time the original notes will be replaced with the Location Notes current at the time of the edit when it is saved).

You can use the Audit/Admin > Notes data export to double check all notes in one place.

Save your changes.
