# Locations

## When to Use Locations

* **When storing the same item in different places**
  * Example: Main warehouse, Floor 3 / Shelf B, retail store
* **When tracking the same item by status or condition**
  * Example: Ready for sale, defective, refurbished

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: If you only have one storage location, using the [Attributes](/docs/concepts/attributes.md) feature might be a simpler option. You can add a "Location" attribute to track where each item is stored.
{% endhint %}

## How to Add Locations

To add and manage your team's locations, go to <mark style="color:$primary;">`Data Center`</mark> > <mark style="color:$primary;">`Locations`</mark>.

{% hint style="warning" %}
When you first set up a team in BoxHero, *one* location is created by default.

Adding locations is only available on the [Business Plan](/docs/pricing.md#business-plan), which includes up to 3 locations. If you need more locations, you can upgrade your plan by going to <mark style="color:$primary;">`Settings`</mark> > <mark style="color:$primary;">`Billing`</mark>.
{% endhint %}

## Items by Location

You can see the total quantity of each item, as well as how many are stored in each location.

Use the dropdown to view items by location—choose **All Locations** or a *specific* location to narrow the view.

## Locations in Transactions

### Move Stock

Transfer items from one location to another and manage your items across multiple sites.

Moving stock works the same way in the mobile app.
{% endembed %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** The <mark style="color:$primary;">`Move Stock`</mark> is only available once you've added more than one location.\
If your team has a *single* location, the feature is disabled.
{% endhint %}

### Other Stock Transactions

For all other inventory actions—**Stock** **In**, **Stock** **Out**, and **Adjust** **Stock**—you’ll still need to select a location before completing the transaction.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If you only have one location, it will be selected by default — no need to choose it manually.
{% endhint %}
