Inventory > Multiple inventory locations
If you hold inventory at multiple locations, you can keep track of item quantities held at each location by recording:
If you want to use multiple locations, you need to create a record for each inventory location. When you create one or more locations, a Location field is added to the Purchases and Sales windows. When you record an item purchase or sale, you can type or select the receiving or selling location for the item in this field.
You can also select a default receiving and selling location for an item in the Item Information window (Locations tab) for each item.
A location called Primary Location is automatically created in your company file. When you set up multiple locations, your existing stock is assigned to this location. You can change the primary location ID and name, if you want, but you cannot delete it. For instructions on how to move items from the primary location to another location, see Recording inventory movements between locations.

If you select this option, you can only move items to and from this location by using the Move Items feature.
