 ## Stock Location Type
 
-A stock location type represents a specific type of location (e.g. one specifc size of drawer, shelf, ... or box) which can be assigned to multiple stock locations. In the first place, it is used to specify an icon and having the icon in sync for all locations that use this location type, but it also serves as a data field to quickly see what type of location this is. It is planned to add e.g. drawer dimension information to the location type to add a "find a matching, empty stock location" tool.
