# Fishbowl: "Cannot change the type of the default location"

> The system won't let you modify the location type for your default inventory location.

## What it means
Fishbowl designates one location as your default—the location it uses for inventory receipts, adjustments, and other operations when you don't specify a particular location. The system blocks changes to the type of this location because modifying how it behaves would disrupt core inventory processes.

## What to check
- Verify which location is currently set as your default in Inventory settings.
- Confirm whether you need to change this location's type, or whether the type is already correct for your workflow.
- If you must change the type, check whether you can designate a different location as the new default, then modify this one's type.
