The 'Location' field associated with a booking or product specifically refers to the initial departure point of the itinerary. This designation serves a crucial purpose: to enable efficient data filtering and categorization.

It's important to understand that this 'Location' field does not encompass all locations included in the complete itinerary. Instead, it focuses solely on the starting point.

Key Points:

• First Departure Focus: The 'Location' field pinpoints the city, region, or venue where the booking's travel or activities commence.

• Data Filtering: This information is primarily used for filtering and sorting data within the system. For instance, it allows users to:

  • Generate reports based on initial departure locations.

  • Filter bookings by specific starting points.

  • Categorize products based on their point of origin.

• Itinerary Scope: The 'Location' field is not intended to provide a comprehensive list of every destination visited during the itinerary. Detailed itinerary information, including all locations, should be found in separate itinerary documents or fields.

• Purpose: The single location is used to quickly summarize where the activity is starting, and to allow for quick grouping of data.

Therefore, when you see a 'Location' field, remember that it indicates the starting point of the journey or activity, not the entire list of destinations.
