Introduction

The storage location view shows all storage locations of a facility along with the items that are placed on them and further information. In addition, users can perform actions such as locking a storage location or marking it as (not) pickable.

This view can be enabled in the remote configuration via API.

More information can be found under .

Description

General

The search bar and the filter can be used to find specific storage locations. It is possible to search by storage location name, product name, and item ID.

The following information can be found in the overview:

  • Storage location name: Value that is used to identify a storage location. It should be unique and is mandatory to be set. The name can be defined when creating a storage location and can be changed afterwards in this view.

  • Type: Value describing whether one product (single) or several products (bulk) can be stored on the location. Can be changed afterwards in this view.

  • Pickable: Defines if users can pick items from the location for orders.

  • Zone: Value describing the zone in which the storage location is located. The user can define several zones via API, for example, picking area or inbound area. The zone can be chosen when creating a storage location but cannot be changed afterwards in this view.

  • Products: Shows the product(s) which are situated on that location. A plus icon (+) indicates whether there are various products on the location.

  • Stock: Number showing the stock quantity of items situated on the location. For example, if there are two products with each 20 units on the location, a “40” would be displayed.

The storage location cards can be expanded to show more detailed information of all products situated on the respective location such as item ID or product image.
