Purpose and when to use this record

Maintain physical bin, aisle, yard, or shelf identifiers used to locate inventory within operations.

At a glance

• Identify it by: Name.

• Check its business context: Warehouse.

• Why care: Warehouse, item, unit, quantity, and cost must describe the same physical movement. A wrong warehouse or unit can make availability and valuation misleading.

Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on locations. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

Create a location

Create a location after searching for the person, organization, item, location, or resource under alternate names and identifiers. Merge or correct an existing master record instead of creating a duplicate.

1. Select the business context first: Warehouse.

2. Enter the required identifying and operational values: Name.

3. Review Description against the source document or approved setup decision.

4. Save the location, then confirm Name on its detail page before continuing.

After saving: Verify this location in Items before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Delete a location

Delete this location only if it is an unused duplicate or setup mistake. Once other records refer to it, preserve that history and make the value inactive when the screen provides that option.

Before confirming, check for related Items. Brisk may refuse deletion when another record depends on this one; resolve the duplicate or use the supported correction workflow instead of breaking the trail.

On the confirmation page, verify Name. After confirmation, return to the Locations list and make sure only the intended location was removed.

Review location details

Use the detail page as the shared record of what this location currently means. Verify Name, Description, and Warehouse before relying on it for a decision.

Follow Warehouse to determine whether the issue is on this location or on one of those linked records.

Next check: Verify this location in Items before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Edit an existing location

Edit this location to keep the same real-world party, item, location, or resource accurate. Do not repurpose it for a different entity after activity is attached.

1. Open the detail page. Compare Warehouse with the supporting document or approved request.

2. Recheck Warehouse. These values are most likely to change warehouse availability, replenishment, quantities, and valuation.

3. Save the change, return to the list, and confirm that the location now appears under the expected Name.

After the change: Verify this location in Items before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Find and review locations

Use the Locations list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare Name. Records with similar names or numbers can still belong to different Warehouse.

• The initial order emphasizes Name. Select a column heading when you need a different comparison.

Open the location whose Name match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck the identifying information shown on the screen rather than creating a replacement immediately.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

• The record will not save: Recheck Name and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

• The values look right but the result is wrong: Open Warehouse from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
