 ==Background==
-Description of general background relevant for the task described in this How-to page.
+Locations entered into InfoEx are organized in a location hierarchy. The location hierarchy has a '''tree structure''' where a location can only have a single parent, but multiple children. Every location needs to be derived from a single parent location, except the operation area, which is the top parent location of a location catalog. To ensure meaningful location catalogs, there are numerous restrictions on what type of locations can be contained by other locations. See [[Location hierarchy]] for a detailed description of the supported relations.
