====== Setting Up Locations ======

Some businesses have multiple locations and require the ability to track items by their location. These locations may be separate retail storefronts and/or warehouse sites. In order to make use of the **Location** field when maintaining inventory it is necessary to enter the **Locations** into Liberty. This is accomplished using the **Maintain Locations** routine.

===== To Rename the Default Location: =====

  - In the Liberty Inventory Module click the **Setup** menu.
  - Click on **Maintain**.
  - Click **Locations**. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4855.png|NewItem4855.png}}
  - The **Maintain Locations** window will popup. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4854.png|NewItem4854.png}}
  - Note that one location is already entered with the name **Default**. Highlight the word **Default** and click the **Edit** button. The **Edit** **Location** dialog will display: \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4853.png|NewItem4853.png}}
  - Enter the name of the **Location** that will most frequently be entered in place of the word **Default**. For instance, if there are two locations, one in New York and one in Los Angeles, and New York is where the majority of items will be, then enter New York in place of **Default**. \\ Note: The **Default** location can only be renamed, not changed. In this example New York is the default location and you cannot change the default to Los Angeles. A workaround would be to flip the names; rename the default location New York to Los Angeles and Los Angeles to New York.
  - Click the **OK** button when done. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4852.png|NewItem4852.png}}
