Updating and Managing Inventory Locations in D365F&O

Posted on by CU24092223-0 2
Is there a way to update inventory location from one value to another in a mass update?  I have 200 where I want to update the inventory location from one value to another for all 200 locations at once or in stages. Is there a way to do that in D365FO?  If so, can someone provide steps on doing it and what impact would it have if I do a mass update to change my inventory locations?

    I support the suggestion by Laurens van der Tang. The warehouse_location_id is a primary key of the Data Entity, so it won't let you directly update them via batch import.
     
    You'll likely need to upload the new Locations first, then use a Transfer Journal to send your inventory from the old to new locations. You may also want to setup a Blocking Cause to apply to your input/output blocking values on the old locations to help prevent accidental usage of the deprecated ID's.

    Data Management / data entities won't be able to override the restriction that location names cannot be edited.

    That was my initial thought but wasn't sure if there was another way to handle updating my locations in D365, as I didn't want to do a rename but thought I would possibly do a mass update using DM and exporting the entity making my changes and then uploading them and didn't know if there would be any impact in doing so.

    Good day,
     
    A 'Mass update' of the location names is not possible. 
     
    Would it not be an option to create new locations and move the stock with a transfer journal to the new locations?
     
    Best regards,

    Location names cannot normally be edited. Were you planning to use the 'rename' function?
