How to Bypass Location Limits in NetSuite

By default, NetSuite accounts that use the Multi-Location Inventory feature have a limit in terms of the number of locations that can be created in NetSuite. Only 100 active Location records can be used in a NetSuite instance.

The following are the options available to bypass this location limit:

1. Utilize Classification records, such as Class or Department records.
2. Use Bin records in NetSuite.
3. Enable the Advanced Item Location Configuration feature. This feature is only available for NetSuite accounts that purchased the paid add-on NetSuite Module called the Advanced Inventory Module.

In cases where the Advanced Inventory Module was not purchased, or the Advanced Item Location Configuration feature cannot be reasonably enabled after further testing, or if it will break existing customizations, a case can be filed with NetSuite Support to increase the limit to more than 100 locations.
