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)

Countries

   3. If a valid English country Name is entered then the 3 letter ISO code for the country will be inserted.
   4. If a valid 3 letter ISO country code is entered in the ISO Code field then the English country name will be inserted in the Name field.
   5. If a valid 2 letter ISO country code is entered in the ISO Code field then it will be converted to the 3 letter ISO code for the country and the English country name will be inserted in the Name field.
