Common data > Fixed assets tables > Buildings 

The creation of buildings is a prerequisite for the creation of locations. A location is always linked to a building in terms of geography.
Buildings and locations are information used in the physical assets management. Thanks to this information, physical assets can be located and their location checked, in particular when undergoing a stock count.
In this screen, list every building specifying its code, description and address. You can also link the location to a picture and display its location on a map using geolocation.
