# Locations

## From project template to project to project task to planning line

If you run your projects at more than one place or warehouse, set up each location with a **Location card** and define transfer routes between them. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central uses locations to help keep track of inventory in both simpler cases and the more complex warehouse processes.

### Default route for location codes

To make the use of location codes easier while providing flexibility, the **Location Code** can be set at different levels. Each level inherits the code from the higher level.

Select a **Location Code** on the **Project Template**. When a project is created from this base template, the **Location Code** is copied to the same field on the **Project card**. The **Location Code** on the **Project card** is the default location for the project planning lines. The **Location Code** is also available on the **Project Task**. When a **Location Code** is specified on the project task, it becomes the default location for the project planning line. Once the project planning line is created, you can update the **Location Code**.

## Warehouse settings

You can enter information about bins and warehouse policies for each location. Industrial Equipment Manufacturing adds one additional setting: the **Consume to Project Bin Code**. Use this setting when the warehouse policy specifies **Require Pick** and the project planning line application type is **Consume**. In that case, create either an inventory pick or a warehouse pick (when **Require Shipment** is also specified) from the project task. Registering the pick populates the **Quantity to Post** field on the project planning line so the line can be posted.

When the project planning line application type is **Deliver**, also create an inventory pick or a warehouse pick (when **Require Shipment** is also specified). You can use the **Container Worksheet** to add a container and pick the material into that container. Use the **Transport Order** to ship the container. For more information, see [Transport and deliveries](/business-central/docs/bc-transport-and-deliveries).

## Transfer inventory between locations

You can transfer inventory items between locations by creating transfer orders. Alternatively, use the **Item Reclassification Journal**.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note** The **Item Reclassification Journal** is an immediate transfer. Transfer orders are applicable when shipping time is needed.

In Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, you can create an inventory transfer from the project planning line when inventory is available for the planning line. Once created, the **In Transit** field on the project planning line shows **Yes**. Click this field to open the transfer order.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note** Transfer orders are also used to replenish demand for a project planning line. Those orders are created through the **Order Planning** action. Once created, the transfer order number shows in **Replenishment Document Type** and **Replenishment Document No.** The **In Transit** field also shows **Yes** in this case.
