7. Click OK to save.

   Note

   Deleting a stock location may result in the error message: "This stock item has been consumed by Work Orders and may not be deleted". This stock location can't be deleted because that would remove it from all of its associated open and closed work orders. So to retain the integrity of your historical records, this stock location can't be deleted.

   As a workaround, users can deactivate stock instead.
