Presentation

To create a location:

  • specify the relevant location type, its code and description,
  • link it to an address (mandatory). When the type of place is a Site or a Supplier, the address line is automatically initialized with the default address of this site or supplier.

Once the place has been created, the type of place cannot be modified. The choice of site or supplier is not modifiable either.

When a place is used in another object, for example in the definition of transport lead times, it cannot be deleted.
