# Preventing Plan Sales in a Location

This validation rule will prevent any plan sales in the specified location. Customers and admins alike won't be able to sign up to any plans available in this location's inventory.

          You need your **Location reference** to create this validation rule.

          

You can find your *Location reference* via **Settings > General settings** on the Admin Panel.
