Unlimited locations can be set up through the Location List window. Generally speaking, if the production is straightforward with only one location and no co-production in place you will only need one location which will be '01'.

If you are using multiple location codes, then you must set them up before location selection will be allowed in the various report sections of Eclipse, and the Movie Magic Budget upload.

Scenario:   A Production involves principle filming to take place in Melbourne, during which time a separate 2nd Unit shoot for 3 weeks in the country is needed, for which costs need to be kept separate. Simply create a location '02' 'Country Shoot' and code all relevant costs to location '02'. This will also enable you to produce a separate Cost Report for the 'Country Shoot' as well as consolidating these costs into your main Cost Report.
