PyneTrack Academy
Lesson 2

Locations and sub-locations

Locations answer one of the most important operational questions: where is it? They can represent warehouses, rooms, vehicles, jobsites, shelves, bins, departments, or any place where records need to live.

Search intent

For people searching how inventory locations work, how to track stock by location, or how to organize assets across buildings and rooms.

Locations make records physical

Inventory and asset records become more useful when they are tied to real places. A location can be as broad as Main Warehouse or as specific as Main Warehouse > Shelf A.

Sub-locations reduce clutter

Sub-locations let teams describe storage areas without creating long, hard-to-read names. This keeps lists easier to scan and reports easier to understand.

How PyneTrack uses them

Inventory quantities can be received, used, and moved by location. Assets can be assigned to a current location and later reconciled with Asset Match.

Training steps

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Choose Locations.
  3. Create a main location.
  4. Add sub-locations if needed.
  5. Use those locations when receiving inventory or saving assets.

Support questions

Can a location be a vehicle?

Yes. Locations can be buildings, rooms, trucks, jobsites, bins, or departments.

Do assets and inventory use the same locations?

Yes. That keeps operational records connected across modules.

Should every shelf be a location?

Only when that level of detail helps your team find or reconcile records.
