How To: Delete a Warehouse Stock Location

Warehouse Location Control is an Advanced User feature. It contains complex, resource-intensive functionality and a decision to begin using it should therefore not be taken lightly.

When a warehouse location is 'deleted' it is actually hidden rather than deleted in order to preserve the stock movement audit trail. Locations hidden in this way can be viewed using the Show Hidden filter above the warehouse locations grid.

Before a warehouse location can be hidden any stock items associated with it must be removed.
