Moving a Location

Note: This feature is available only to users with administrative permissions.

Move a location when its current position in the location tree does not accurately reflect its place in your company. A location can be moved to any position in the tree, to become a top-level ("root") location or another location's sub-location. When you move a location that contains sub-locations, its sub-locations are moved along with it.

When you are rearranging the location tree, it is recommended that you move a location whenever possible (rather than deleting it and re-adding it elsewhere in the tree). This is more efficient and automatically updates all product assignments to the location with its new position.

To move a location:

Starting at the Location Tree page (How do I get there?), do the following:

  1. Find and select the location you want to move. (If a location shows a plus (+) next to its name, you can click its name to open its immediate sub-locations.)

  2. In the box on the left, click Move.

    A menu and link provide the options for where the location can be moved.

  3. Select where you want to move the location:

    The location is moved to its new place in the location tree. All product assignments to the location are updated accordingly.
