The Locations tab can be accessed
from the New Location tool on
the main toolbar, or by choosing New
Location from the Warehouse

The upper portions of this tab looks like this:
Simply enter a Location name, and then specify whether you'd like it listed as available. Below, this area, you're presented with three tabs:
Address Information.
The address of the new location.
If the location is actually a current Customer
or Vendor (e.g. in the case of drop shipping), you can click either the
Copy from Customer or Copy
from Vendor buttons, and will be able to select the appropriate

Bins allow you to create location within locations, letting you more easily pinpoint the location of an Item. This can be valuable for organizations that have enormous warehouses with miles of aisles. A bin can be any place of storage, from an actual bin to a shelf, workbench, crate, or even a virtual location.
Just click in the line below Default to add a new bin. Type in a descriptive name, check whether the particular bin is available, and even mark it as the new default if desired. You can remove any bin by clicking its Delete button.
