Manage Locations

A location identifies physical addresses of a workforce structure, such as a department, job, or business unit. You can also create locations to enter the addresses of external organizations that you might want to maintain, such as your contractors.

Follow these steps to verify the data within the Manage Locations task:

1. Logged into Fusion Applications, click Navigator > My Enterprise > Setup and Maintenance.
2. Ensure that Field Service is selected in the Setup field in the header.
3. Click Company Profile in the Functional Areas section.
4. Click Manage Locations.
5. Search for any locations that might have already been added.
6. If you do need to add a new location, then click the Create button. For example, a new location could be added for our Miami, Florida-based business unit within Supremo Fitness.
7. The following fields are required when creating a location:
   1. Effective Start Date: The date from which the location becomes effective.
   2. Location Set: Select the Location Set that is to be associated with the business unit. Only those users who have access to the set's business unit will be able to access the associated location set. In other words, the users of one business unit can't access the locations and workforce structures created for a different business unit. Alternatively, you can also associate the location to the Common Set, which allows users across your enterprise to be able to access the location regardless of their associated business unit. When users search for locations, they can see the locations that they have access to along with the locations in the Common Set.
   3. Name: The name of the location. For example, Supremo Fitness - Miami.
   4. Code: A unique code by which you want to identify the location. For example, SUPR_FL01.
   5. Status: Select Active if you intend on using the location now.
   6. Main Address: Physical address of the new location.
8. Click Save, then Submit and finally Done to return to the Functional Areas task list.
