# Prevent plan signups if the plan is from a different location

This validation rule helps you prevent plan signups in your current location if the plan used to create the contract is from another location within your network.

It is particularly useful if you name plans in the exact same way across locations and don't want admins to mistakenly create a contract with a plan from the wrong location.

*For example, you have Location A and Location B with identical plans. This validation rule prevents the sale of plans from Location A in Location B and vice versa.*
