Locations are areas where assets can be stored. Any storage area that is not at a Customer is considered a Location.
Every Asset is either at a Customer or in a Location.
An asset can only be in one and only one location at a time.
An asset cannot be at both a customer and a location at the same time.
Location Types
There are different Location Types:
- Branch - This is an internal location. Typically a branch, store, or warehouse
- Reseller - This is an location is like a branch but it is typically not part of your company. This is ususally a place where consignment inventory is kept for another company that resells your products to end users.
- Supplier - This is an external location. This is typically someone that either supplies or maintains the assets.
- Truck - This is a truck or trailer used to transport assets.
The Unknown Location
There is a special location called the "Unknown Location". Assets are moved here when their location is not know.
Examples of how an asset will end up in the Unknown Location:
- Marked lost - Typically after a customer audit or after removing stale inventory from a location
- Created by a TrackAbout record that did not set the initial location of the asset
- Moved into a 'Pack' of joined assets
- Bulk imported from a previous tracking system and not at a customer site at the time of the import
