Storage locations are used when you want to control where in the warehouse(s) the item is located. For example, it can be in physical locations, cars, shelves, drawers, etc.
It is possible to use a warehouse without a location. If you have a lack of storage locations, you can take advantage of locations at the individual locations.
Up to 30,000 locations can be created, with each location having up to 30,000 locations.

Storage locations are created and maintained under

Remove the use of storage location and/or location
If you have created a storage location and/or a location that you no longer want to use, use the merge functions to merge the locations with each other and finish by merging with a "blank" location. Do the same with the storage location if you want to remove these as well.
If you have removed some or all of your storage locations and/or locations in this way, run
Recalculate inventory under
Lager/Maintenance to correct your inventories so that they are now totaled without storage location and/or location.

Company/Maintenance/Turn features on/off by unchecking the
Warehouse and
Location fields.
