In Salesforce Field Service, Locations and Product Items are two distinct concepts that work together to manage inventory. A Location is a physical place where inventory is stored, while a Product Item tracks a specific product at a specific location.

Core information
  • Locations are physical places where inventory is stored, such as warehouses, customer sites, or work vehicles.
More details and nuances
  • A Product Item's Quantity on Hand must be 1 if you assign a serial number to it.
