Creating a new Location allows you to configure a distinct operational facility under your overarching Organization in techSHIP. Effectively setting this up ensures that your physical warehouse site is accurately represented and successfully connected to your external Host System.

This guide covers how to quickly add and configure a new Location within your environment.


	For detailed conceptual information on Locations and Organizations, refer to Understanding the techSHIP Organization Structure [Information].

Because every facility requires a parent, you can only create a new Location from within its target Organization.


	Before continuing, you must ensure you have the correct administrative access. For details on the required permissions, refer to techSHIP User Permissions Structure [Information].

Navigate to Settings and select Organizations.

Click on the Settings icon for your target Organization to open its configuration view.

Click the Locations tab to view the list of associated operational facilities.

Click Add Location to open the creation dialog.

Enter the Location Name and click Add Location. You will be automatically redirected to the Location Edit page.

Configure the desired parameters across the General, Desktop, and API tabs.

For detailed information on these specific sections, refer to the Managing Locations [Guide].

Navigate to the Host System tab to select and configure your external warehouse or order management software.
