Creating a new location
-----------------------

In order to be able to create new locations, you must allow the system
to manage multiple locations. In the **Inventory** module, open the
menu :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`. In the **Location &
Warehouse** section, tick the **Manage several locations per warehouse**
box, then click on **Apply**.

In the **Inventory** module, open 
:menuselection:`Configuration --> Warehouse Management --> Locations`
In the Locations window, click on **Create**.

Type the name of the location in the **Location Name** field, and select
the **Parent Location** in the list. The parent location can be a
physical, partner or virtual location, and you can add as many
sub-locations as needed to a location.

You can also fill in the **Additional Information** fields and add a
note to describe your location.

When you are finished, click on **Save**.

.. note::
    A warehouse also corresponds to a location. As the locations 
    are hierarchical, Odoo will create the parent location of the 
    warehouse, containing all the sublocations in it.
