          Set Up Multiple Inventory Locations

          Set Up Multiple Inventory Locations

          By default, all products consumed for a work order or work order line item come from the same location. However, you can let mobile workers log product consumption from multiple locations. You might want to do this when, for example, workers provide services to multiple vendors or want separate inventories for different types of work.
