# Create new locations

### **Introduction**

Paragon allows you to track your inventory within your warehouse by using locations. This article explains how to add locations in ParagonERP.

 

### **Process description:**

Set up locations (if you have more than one warehouse location, or if you want to divide your warehouse into different areas, phases, etc.). Locations can be as granular as you would like and you can have as many as you want. If you have a third-party warehouse or don't own your warehouse, we suggest [setting up a **related company**](https://support.paragon-erp.com/related-warehouses-receiving-into-your-thirdparty-warehouse?hsLang=en) before creating a location.

 

### **Step-by-step instructions:**

- #### Step 1: Create an address for your warehouse location

If you've set up a related company or your warehouse address is the same as your business address, you do not need to do this step. 

From any screen, click the** settings** button**. **

**![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn98c3de5c4bbbb4ad52215d6dc2c3eb900873eb6657e876cb67f7f79a24b5cd732a762e673bf57a31fb1a89027593a0a5-1-1-1-3-1.png)**

 

Select **my company** from the **system card**.

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/My%20Company%20module-jpg-Jul-09-2025-11-56-00-6117-AM.jpeg?width=670&height=283&name=My%20Company%20module-jpg-Jul-09-2025-11-56-00-6117-AM.jpeg)

You will be brought to the **my company** page. This page displays all the information about your company. To add the warehouse address, click the **edit **button.

 

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn6a3de7f9d768f74d8792a10c9cb021cef4f44a744dd57ae8958de537ea9e44487e803925b8cfb8e2f5f700283d644e3f-1-1-1-3-1.png)

 

Click the **ship **button so that it is highlighted in blue and then click the **drop-down arrow.**

 

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn02cb637fc116e341b2ae274cfaf302d58cb01598fe11545faf3b76d8bf4ead30bb095eb884566a7e6a8c5d4399d9088e-1-1-1-3-1.png)

 

 

Then click the **add new address **button.

 

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn9f2de59ab3d9d721e4bc681a7352a0e00e9a311031b63643b9f8068979272b60cf6b25198d072c4f40aa682a9570ac91-1-1-1-3-1.png) 

 

A pop-up window will appear. This is where you will enter the address for your location. The address search field is integrated with Google Maps, so it will auto-complete the address for you if it is able to find it. 

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn5ddf626b9e0e3cacb8b1697c6649da61554a73c2a85cf7c56a49345edff90dee97f1a1ed7e04d24f667a3f6896d7ba96-1-1-1-3-1.png)

Once you have entered your new address and clicked on the **accept** button you will be brought back to the **my company** page. Your address will have been added to the **ship** address field. Click the **save** button. Now, this address will be available for use in the **locations** module. 

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn423669baa78c7532beca181955b3cd8c7724611ffa2dacd96eb5ee34a57cc43d2d4f2b966ad207ac433af599ebc63285-1-1-1-3-1.png)

 

You can repeat these steps for any more locations that you need to enter.

 

- #### Step 2: Set up multiple locations

Multiple warehouses may be needed to easily manage your inventory. To set up multiple locations other than your main warehouse, you will need to add [attributes](https://support.paragon-erp.com/what-are-attributes-and-attribute-values?hsLang=en).

From any screen, click the **settings** button at the top right corner of the screen. 

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn7a0bf2d7bf0d6452736e94efdb4af32e700f09acc42c7228a99dad01b46b5209db0a8e6d6e6ec48f737da6a4379f5f7a-1-1-1-3-1.png)

 

Under the attributes card, select **attribute setup. **

 

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsnbb8228474c356381fa9e6171884b107e544866f97f4b2f822cd77851748066e84d1ea3fcfdf58eace40e9dfd66f5c5bb-1-1-1-3-1.png)

 

Find the **warehouse** attribute in the list and click the **edit** button.

 

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn834e3c04b824b4b4dc3e97bbea20b301a694bdb21efe62c18b35e30878a7e5e1dee2daeacacc67a9a2d56d3fdbfd02ff-1-1-1-3-1.png)

 

The following **attribute** modal will appear. Click the  **next** button.

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn6a3de7f9d768f74d8792a10c9cb021ce0dcfd93cc1b81fcf8bde5ee1a2916d8247a8cddc2cabdeca4ff873b44284ebbb-1-1-1-3-1.png)

 

Now you will add attribute values to the warehouse attribute. The attribute values represent the names of your warehouses. Click the **add **button to create a new warehouse location name.

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsna9f5b06f835c7a89cf949abb0ab5f1c39d9e623012a13104120924d618c523c1712c4f883048bfcab182f4c33936b3b4-1-1-1-3-1.png)

In the line that appears, type in your warehouse name. You can add as many as you need and when you're ready, click the **next** button.

 

Continue clicking the **next** button until you land on this screen. Then, click **save** **changes**.

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsnd3e36cf27500df575eebebe01ad16ab7ae985bdadb26fb3912fc2bd4b74d71f854c99f6de73d2d3fca241cb0cc07bc31-1-1-1-3-1.png)

Now you are able to choose from different warehouse locations, within your main warehouse.

 

- #### Step 3: Create a location

From the **more** tab, select **location. **

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Location%20module-jpg-4.jpeg?width=539&height=536&name=Location%20module-jpg-4.jpeg)

 

 

Click the **create new** button.

 

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsnd4dd82d7ed891f55a57cc78778031f478d07c2e4222b617be12cf6c4b6ceff52897c0dd5a78c47700ce42493ffc8fc7d-1-1-1-3-1.png)

 

**Address**

First, click the arrow in the **warehouse** area. This will bring up a list of addresses. Select the address that corresponds to the warehouse address you're setting up.

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsna8758ef1a634a3223c2c9206b9240175ac952e435e7e6b62a8cf82bd2dbc0181d6b8627f25d07fb60f44d30d70436e11-1-1-1-3-1.png)

**Location type**

Next, select a **location type** from the drop down list.

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsnbb8228474c356381fa9e6171884b107e596c04b05c5451b6e4f61f329940aa6398f34ca737726b613d913c418060ce07-1-1-1-3-1.png)

You can choose from the following options:

- Default receiving: When you create a receipt, the inventory will be added to this location unless otherwise specified on the receipt.
- Default shipping: When you create a shipment, the inventory will be deducted from this location unless otherwise specified on the shipment.
- Default packing: When you create a packing list, the inventory will be reserved in this location unless otherwise specified on the pack list.
- Default picking: When you create a picking ticket, the inventory will be reserved in this location unless otherwise specified on the pick ticket.
- Default for work order material reduction: When you receive a work order, the materials required to make the finished goods on the work order will be deducted from this location unless otherwise specified on the receipt.
- Default for all transactions: This is usually used when you don't have specific requirements for each location or you only have one.

If you do not have a specific use for this location, choose it as **default for all transactions** as your location type.

 

It is always recommended to have at least one **default for all transactions** location.

**Location attributes**

Next, select the attributes that you want to be added to your location.  

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsncfbc095b09220ae5d38aaaffc8f8cbdb05a56d4f771f2067762b61742c05874522214b50512480ec82d911418096495f-1-1-1-3-1.png)

 

If you want to add more attributes, simply create new attributes in **attribute setup** then add them to **[screen setup](https://support.paragon-erp.com/how-to-set-up-reference-screens?hsLang=en#Step_5_Configure_location_module)** in the location module. 

There is also a default option that you can activate on any location - **pick location**.  This must be checked (set to yes) for any warehouse location that is to be used for picking.

#### ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsncfbc095b09220ae5d38aaaffc8f8cbdb36699654895d5a4f0e12a61640a4c15d37336415c5297b49952a50d575404d8c-1-1-1-3-1.png)

**Name your location type**

You can choose any description for your location type. In this example, we are using the *default picking* as the **location type**.

#### ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn02cb637fc116e341b2ae274cfaf302d59f59f5d61ca574116e61f37df0fd8392caf6fa01bea3d3bf2745f674cd0a980c-1-1-1-3-1.png)

**Save**

When you've finished adding in all your information, click the** save** button. Your location is now set up. Click the** action** button to change your new location's status to **active**.
