Positions are distinct areas within Locations. When entering Goods Receipts, Items can be placed in Positions using the field on flip F. This can help with the organisation of large Locations, but has no accounting significance (stock valuations cannot be produced for a Position). Items can be moved to new Positions using Stock Movements.

The 'Positions: Browse' window lists the available Positions: double-click to modify or click [New] to create a new record.

In the 'Position: New' window, you should enter a code and a short descriptive text. The code may contain up to five characters, and you may freely mix letters and numbers. Specify the Location of which the Position is a part, using 'Paste Special' if necessary. Click [Save] to save changes.

The Require Position option on the Location screen can be used to ensure that a Position must be entered to all Goods Receipts featuring a particular Location.
