Field	Description
Location	See location. The location you selected at the Locations screen. The location code is separated from the location name by a hyphen (-). Display-only.
Location Use	Select whether the attribute applies to the location when it is the Originating, Pickup, or Sourcing location for an order. Required. In the case of a ship-for-pickup order, the Ship For Pickup Matching Type selected for the attribute definition must also indicate to use this attribute when filtering locations; for example, the Ship For Pickup Match Type must be set to Sourcing or Both in order to use a location attribute whose Location Use is set to Sourcing to filter orders. However, this restriction does not apply to delivery or pickup orders.
Attribute Code	After selecting the Location Use, select the Code identifying an attribute you can apply to a location. All attribute definitions that could be applied to the selected location are available for selection. Attributes are available for selection if: they were created with an Attribute Type of Location or Product and Location, and if the Location Use is: Sourcing or Pickup: Attributes are available for selection as long as they have not already been applied to the selected location with the same Location Use, unless the Allow Multiple flag was selected. For example, you might select the Allow Multiple flag for a list attribute identifying brands, and apply multiple brands to a location for sourcing or pickup. Originating: Attributes are not available for selection if they have already been applied to the selected location, regardless of whether the Allow Multiple flag is selected for the attribute. If the attribute has not already been applied using the same Location Use, then it can be applied again to the location. Once you select an Attribute Code, the Description and Data Type are displayed above the Value field. The Attribute Code is not available for selection until after you select the Location Use. Required.
Description	The description of the selected attribute. Displayed after you select the Attribute Code. Display-only.
Data Type	Indicates the type of data that can be defined through the selected attribute. Possible data types are: Boolean: Indicates whether a condition is true for the location; for example, set to true if the location supports engraving. List: Used to define a list of valid values that can be assigned to a location; for example, this might be a list of brands that the location can support for sourcing or pickup. Each value can be up to 50 positions. Number: Indicates that the value defined through the attribute must be numeric. Numbers can be up to 25 positions, including commas, decimal points, or minus signs. Text: Indicates that the value defined through the attribute is text. Values can be up to 50 positions. Displayed after you select the Attribute Code. Display-only.
Value	Use this field to enter or select the value for the location attribute. If the Data Type is: Boolean: Automatically selected and cannot be changed. List: Select the Value from the displayed options defined for the attribute. Only Values for the attribute that are not already assigned to the location are available for selection. Number: Enter a numeric value. Numbers can be up to 25 positions, including commas, decimal points, or minus signs. Text: Enter a numeric or text value. Can be up to 50 positions. Required, except that a Boolean defaults to selected and is display-only.
