Location Groups allow you to organize locations by region, type, or other criteria to apply different inventory rules.
How iPaaS.com Thinks About Location Groups
A Location Group is a named collection of Locations - "East Region", "Warehouse Group". The group holds no inventory itself; it aggregates the stock of the locations inside it.
Location Groups are the platform's native way to pool inventory for availability and reporting. The classic case: a warehouse tracks stock at several lower-level Locations, but a storefront needs one sellable number - a group over those locations provides the aggregated pool without custom rollup logic in the integration. The link is two-way: a Location lists the groups it belongs to, and a group lists its locations. Locations must exist before they can be added to a group. When a connected system expects one pooled availability figure per channel rather than per-location quantities, a Location Group is the answer.
