Abstract: If $ R$ is a triangular $ 2\times 2$ matrix ring, the columns $ P$ and $ Q$ are f.g. projective $ R$-modules. We describe the universal localization of $ R$ which makes invertible an $ R$-module morphism $ \sigma:P\to Q$, generalizing a theorem of A. Schofield. We also describe the universal localization of $ R$-modules.
