Location Records


Purpose
A location record is created for every physical grave, cremation memorial or mausoleum crypt in byondpro, and also for administrative purposes to track the location of cremated remains, e.g. crematorium and administration office. The location is the sellable Right of Interment item that accommodates burial and ash interments.
 
Fit within the Location Hierarchy
The location record is dependent on the Site and Area hierarchy, and inherits attributes from the preceding record when created within byondpro.
 
 
Location coding structure
The Location coding structure incorporates the codes for the preceding Site and Area (S1/S2) records. The Location code segment can be up to 6 characters long. When first configuring byondpro for use, customers can opt to include the Type code as a segment within the full Location code.
 
Example:
Highview Gardens - Lawn Area - Section 1 - Row A1
HGH-LAWN-01-A1-001     Grave 1
HGH-LAWN-01-A1-800-001     Type 800/Headstone on Beam - Grave 1
