This screen allows configuration of Storage Location for a Storage Type. These Locations can be storage bins, dock door, forklift etc. 

If a company location has sub locations, then storage locations will be for a sub location. Sub location has to be selected.

If company location does not have sub locations, then storage locations are for the company location

Relationship to third party warehouses:

To manage storage in third party warehouses, we will set up these warehouses as a sub-location of the basic location (profit center).  To indicate locations within a warehouse, use the Storage Location field.  Warehouses will also have to be set up as entities in order to process invoices.  For some functionality like "warehouse rate matrix" we will require a linking of the sub-location warehouse (where the product is held) to the entity warehouse (where the bill is paid). This may be done on the warehouse rate matrix screen, pending a general analysis of how warehouse bills will be processed.
