+Our general location naming system follows conventions explained in this article.
+
+Locations are generally a combination of letters or numbers divided by hyphens, like A-01-02-B. Each part of the location code has a particular meaning.
+
+## Primary Prefix
+The primary prefix is the combination of characters before the first hyphen, and each of them have a special meaning. The letters can be combined to form special meanings.
+
+|   Prefix   |   Meaning   |
+|:-----|:-----|
+|   A   |   "Active". This indicates it is active storage that is meant for inventory we need to quickly access and will frequently [[cycle count]]. It should be highly accessible without any special equipment like ladders, stools, forklifts, etc.   |
+| B | "Bulk". Indicates inventory we don't expect to access often or quickly. A ladder is probably needed to access it. |
+| ?S | Small inventory. |
+| ?T | Textiles like jackets, dresses, or shirts which don't hold a particular shape and aren't really stackable. |
+| ?F | Indicates the location should only be accessed with a forklift |
+| D-??? | The location is departmental in nature. The second part of the location is an abbreviation of the department (see [[Circles]]) that controls the location. Important because individual [[Circles]] may have their own internal location naming standards and conventions |
+| P?- | Indicates the location is referring to floor space in front of something else where a pallet may be placed. For example, PA-01-02 means a pallet in front of A-01-02 |
+
+The Primary Prefix is designed to help a person understand what tools, equipment, or preparations they need before going to the location. It isn't really supposed to tell you where the thing is located.
+
+The reason is so that a person looking for something in a place like AP-GOKU knows they're looking for a moving rack that could be anywhere in the building, but it has a picture of Goku on it. A location like AF-EAST-01-02 tells you that a forklift is needed, but it is an active location so you shouldn't expect to need to move anything out of the way to access it.
+
+## Standard meaning after primary prefix
+Each section of a location after the primary prefix is like a coordinate.
+

+So for example, A-03-01-B-3 is telling you the following:
+
+- It is active storage with no other designations, so it should be quick to reach without any special equipment or preparations.
+- It is in the 3rd aisle of racking.
+- It's the 1st facing in that area, 2nd shelf up from the floor.
+- The area has bins, and you're looking for the 3rd bin.
