Hint
Setting up a good location hierarchy is important if you are interested in the demand forecasting functionality. Otherwise, you can skip modeling a location hierarchy.
Using the owner field the locations can be organized in a hierarchical tree structure. This allows, among other, reviewing the forecast at different levels in the Forecast editor.
Here is an example to model a tree structure with warehouses in multiple countries:
Name |
Owner |
|---|---|

All locations |
Warehouse 1 |

France |

Warehouse 2 |
