Inventory locations are the hierarchical places within a Lab where inventory is stored and tracked, for example Building → Room → Cabinet → Shelf.
Each inventory location belongs to a specific Lab. Locations make it easy to find materials, verify availability when planning work, and keep accurate audit trails of movement and usage.
