Location codes are used to define the location of an item. It is located under CORE>Locations. The location codes consist of two parts - category and number. The category and number each consist of eight characters that can be either alphabetic or numeric. Generally the category code identifies the building or center where the item is located, while the number code identifies a specific location or room within the building. Setting up the codes in this manner makes it possible to generate reports listing all of the items located in individual rooms.
The location codes are not required for GAAP reporting; however, they must be defined in order to add an item to the inventory file.

MASS CHANGE LOCATION CODES
The EISCHG mass change program is available if it becomes necessary to mass change the location codes on the item records. EISCHG has an option to mass change location codes. This option allows you to change all items currently on the system with a specified location code to have the new specified location code. The primary purpose of this option is to make it possible to change location codes assigned by appraisal companies to more meaningful codes chosen by the district. Please refer to the EISCHG chapter for more information on mass changing function/activity codes.
