How to Use the Copy Location Feature in Business Central 2026 Wave 1 (BC28)

Key points

Copy Location duplicates warehouse configuration, settings, and operational setup from an existing location to a new one

It is available directly from the Locations page and Location Card page via the Actions menu
Useful for multi-warehouse rollouts, franchise deployments, testing environments, and rapid implementations

Quotes

“The Copy Location feature allows users to create a new location by duplicating configuration from an existing location.” (Clearly defines what the feature does and its primary benefit for reducing manual work)
“It copies setup configuration, not inventory transactions.” (Critical to understand what data is and is not replicated to avoid data integrity issues)
“For quick duplication scenarios, yes. For bulk structured migration, Configuration Packages may still be better.” (Helps users understand when to use Copy Location versus alternative approaches like Configuration Packages)
