# Locations

> Create and manage warehouses, vans, sites, and other places where you hold stock.

**Locations** are where your inventory physically (or logically) lives. Every on-hand quantity is tied to an item **and** a location. Transfers move stock **between** locations.

## Location types

When creating a location, choose a type that fits how you operate:

| Type          | Typical use                       |
| ------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Warehouse** | Main storage, distribution center |
| **Van**       | Mobile sales or service vehicle   |
| **Truck**     | Larger mobile unit or freight     |
| **Site**      | Job site, retail floor, pop-up    |
| **Other**     | Anything that does not fit above  |

The type is for organization and display — it does not change how stock math works.

## Create a location

1. Open **Locations** in the sidebar.
2. Click **Add location**.
3. Enter a **name** (unique within the workspace).
4. Choose a **type** and optional **note**.
5. Save.

Your plan caps how many locations you can have. The first location created with your workspace is **Inventory** — often used as the default receiving location.

## Default location

Workspace owners set the **default location** under **Settings → General**. This location is pre-selected when you add items with opening stock from the inventory page.

## View location inventory

Click a location card to open inventory filtered to that location. The card also shows how many distinct items have stock there.

## Edit or delete a location

From a location card's **⋯** menu:

* **Edit** — change name, type, or note
* **Delete** — remove the location

<Warning>
  You cannot delete a location that still has stock balances. Transfer or adjust stock to zero at that location first, or move items elsewhere.
</Warning>

Only **owners** and members with unrestricted access can edit or delete locations.

## Location access for team members

When inviting teammates, you can restrict which locations each **member** can view or edit. Owners always see everything. See [Team & members](/dashboard/team/introduction).

## Working with multiple locations

A typical setup:

1. **Warehouse** — bulk storage
2. **Retail store** — floor stock
3. **Service van** — technician parts

Use **Transfers** to move stock between them as goods ship, replenish, or return. Use the location dropdown on **Inventory** to check counts at each place without leaving the page.
