Locations are used in addresses and hold post code information.
Locations are used in sales orders.
Rules for warehouse selection on orders can use a combination of Locations and stock availability.
Locations are in a Hierarchy and have a type:
- Country
- State
- Suburb
- Street
- Continent
- Area (for any other type)

An area must be wholly in a state, it cannot cross state borders.
