Storage locations

Introduction

The storage location view shows all storage locations of a facility, the items placed on them, and other related information. In addition, users can perform actions such as locking a storage location or marking it as pickable or non-pickable.

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

For more information, see Products – Storage location.

Description

General

Users can use the search bar and filter to find specific storage locations. The search supports queries by storage location name, product name, and item ID.

The overview displays the following information:

• Storage location name: A unique and mandatory value that identifies a storage location. The name can be defined when creating a storage location and changed later in this view.

• Type: A value describing whether one product (single) or multiple products (bulk) can be stored on the location. This can be changed later in this view.

• Pickable: Defines if items can be picked from the location for orders.

• Zone: The zone in which the storage location is located. Users can define several zones via API, such as a picking area or an inbound area. The zone can be chosen when creating a storage location but cannot be changed afterwards in this view.

• Products: Shows one or more products situated on that location. A plus icon (+) indicates when there are multiple products on the location.

• Stock: The total stock quantity of all items on the location. For example, if there are two products with 20 units each on the location, "40" is displayed.

Users can expand the storage location cards to show more detailed information for all products on the respective location, such as item ID or a product image.

Pickable storage locations

Users can mark storage locations as pickable or non-pickable when creating or editing a location. Products on a pickable location are ready to be picked for customer orders and are included in the available for picking count. The pickable status is an inventory trait that is inherited from a storage location to the stock on that location.

Locking storage locations

Users can lock storage locations from the three-dot menu in the expanded location view. Products on a locked location are not included in the available on stock and available for picking counts. In addition, users receive a notification when attempting to move products from this location. For more information on the technical background, refer to the documentation on inventory traits.
