New Release | Inventory: New Settings for Upcoming Location Provisioning | 28th & 29th Apr 2026

What’s New?

• New Settings for Location Provisioning
  In preparation for the future release of Fourth's Location Provisioning system, 2 new settings have been added to Inventory

These settings will be available upon release. To have either applied in the system, please submit a support request.

• Setup > All Options > Organisation Hierarchy > select Site > Edit > Use as template for new site creation
  When this option is ticked, a copy of the site will be created beneath any new locations (units) created from the Location Provisioning system. Template sites do not need to sit beneath the same unit. When a new unit is created from the Location Provisioning system, a copy of all sites marked as templates will be added beneath the new unit
   
• Setup > All Options > Global Settings > Core > Organisation Default Setting > Default Sub Type > Location Provisioning Updates
  The new setting has 3 selectable values:
  • Do Nothing - Default setting. Units and sites will not be created in response to new locations created in the Location Provisioning system
  • Update only - Only unit/location details edited in Location Provisioning will be reflected in Inventory. However, new units and sites will not be created
  • Create and Update - Units and sites will be created in response to new locations created in the Location Provisioning application. Edited locations will also be updated in Inventory

Release date: 28th (US) and 29th (EMEA & APAC) April 2026
