Usage

Before creating any location records, add at least one value to the Location Type picklist. LocationType is a required field.

To track your inventory in Salesforce, create product items, which represent the stock of a particular product a particular location. For example, create a product item that represents the 500 bolts you have in stock at your Warehouse A location. Each product item must be associated with a location.

To get a more granular picture of your field service operation, associate locations with service territories. For example, if a warehouse is located in a particular service territory, add it as a service territory location.

“Location” in Salesforce can also refer to the geolocation compound field found on many standard objects. When referencing the Location object in your Apex code, always use Schema.Location instead of Location to prevent confusion with the standard Location compound field. If referencing both the Location object and the Location field in the same snippet, you can differentiate between the two by using System.Location for the field and Schema.Location for the object.
