InventoryLocation

IMPORTANT  The SOAP API entered a limited enhancement phase in Q4 2020. Access to version 1.6 will eventually be deactivated. At this time, there is no end-of-lifecycle date.

This entity describes an Autotask Inventory location, that is, a physical or virtual place where your company stores or assigns inventory items. For example, an Inventory location can be an actual warehouse or retail outlet, or a virtual holding place such as "Lost Items" or "Returned Items." Every Inventory Item must be associated with an Inventory Location. You assign a Location to Inventory Items when you add the items to inventory or to a purchase order.
