# Locations

Within the **Catalog** module of your **Inventory**, you can specify the **Location** of every item.

You can add a new **Location category** with the help of the **Add location** option:

:::info
Locations can also be **deleted** here. Locations where items are stored cannot be deleted.

:::

During [**Check-In**](/doc/check-in-transactions-tTR3olggNG)**,** you can specify the **Location** of an item:

### Location management

Location management provides a high level of **specificity** when setting up storage locations in the **Inventory** module: users can specify the **building, room, shelf, and bin** for an item.


:::warning
**Filling in each field is NOT obligatory; it is** only optional. However, you cannot leave input fields blank between two fields where data is added (i.e., you cannot add *Building* and *Shelf* without filling in the *Room* field)

See the detailed Location description in the **Location** column:

If an item is stored in **multiple locations**, the [**Catalog**](/doc/catalog-gk6IwlP6Bi) entry for the item will show 'Multiple' in the *Location* column. To check the exact locations of these items, refer to the **Item list** tab included for every item.

### Filter for Items by Locations

You can filter for Items by Locations in your Catalog:

### Home Locations Tab

The latest [**Inventory**]() module version allows users to search for items more conveniently: it provides the **location history** of items, offers a more straightforward way to **check in items, and allows** you to **transfer them in bulk to another location**.

The **location history** of consumable and non-consumable items is also available when completing check-in transactions.

The **Home Locations** tab in the **Check-In** popup lists:

* Every location the item has been checked out from in the past 180 days and
* Every location where the item is currently in stock:

An info icon marks the most recent Check-out location. ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/6c0da235-ff99-49fd-81af-d32f613692dd/fdea9800-9d0a-4ee2-b134-5c56a913de5a/66356114.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=9991e29a86ed619f76c8581ee42044ca6627ad7d673186c6ae9f07930550206f&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject)

:::warning
The **Home Locations** tab becomes active only after transactions have already been performed with an item. Before that, only the **All Locations** tab was displayed as active.

### Move Items to Other Locations

With the help of the **Move to another location** feature of the Item lists, items can be easily transferred from one location to another without conducting multiple transactions.

 ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/6c0da235-ff99-49fd-81af-d32f613692dd/6a185e2b-3ec6-4986-bb30-f89d1dadf915/66355331.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=9e77abde7099ddfb3213aca6863f3899e1ceeb24387d3cbb33ed2abf3fb4fe3e&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =642x382")

To transfer multiple items or an asset to another location, access the **Move to Another Location** option via the **Edit** button included at each location or batch:

 ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/6c0da235-ff99-49fd-81af-d32f613692dd/378f9d63-5991-4851-b7da-8dc1f86dcd9c/66356115.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=b0abab54a4709c628d94bc11698e564f9c72f3b638a3901af3cb1bb006f6b37d&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =642x511")


:::info
The system will automatically create **two transaction logs** (one for **Check-out** and one for **Check-in**) for any transfer made in the **Item List** tab, so you can trace back every movement inside your **Inventory.**

Within your [**Setup sheets**](/doc/setup-sheets-nn1x3niB6Q), you can also check out items from **multiple Locations**:
