Functional tip: How to add a Centralized location code in Business Central ?

Introduction :

Hello!

While setting up Customers and Vendors it does happen we tend to miss out the location code field. We either leave it for later and forget it or maybe we ain’t sure which location should be assigned to the Customer ?

Location field left blank then causes issue while we have transaction like Orders, Invoices to be processed.

The goods news is we can centralize the location code in Business central.

With the centralize location code, even if no location is entered on the Customer and Vendors, the centralized location code will be auto filled on orders, invoices etc.

Pre-requisites: Business Central

Steps:

1. On the search bar, navigate to Company information and scroll down to the field Location code.

2. Set the default location code and voila! the centralized location code is all setup. That was easy, wasn’t it ?

3. I’ve set Blue as my default location code. Similarly, you can centralize the Responsibility centre too

4. Let’s have a test run, shall we ? One of my Customers doesn’t have location code on the setup. I will try to create a sales order to check if Location code as Blue will be set up automatically.
