InventoryLocation
IMPORTANT The SOAP API entered a limited enhancement phase in Q4 2020. Access to version 1.6 will be deactivated.
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.
