Warehouse Locations

Multiple locations

  • The 'Location(s)' field can hold more than one location.
  • Normally the first location is the primary pick location and the others bulk locations (usually the shelves directly above the primary pick location).
    Example:

    In this example 'A1' is the primary pick location.

Quantity per location

  • By far the easiest method to keep track of quantities per location is to just add some textual information to the location number.
  • Note Note: If you have more than one pick location (e.g. different batches or 'lots' of the same product) then see Batches and multiple locations below.
    Example:

  • In this example there are 50 pieces available on location A2 and also 50 pieces available on location A3.
  • The total quantity on stock is 129 pieces, so there must be 29 pieces available at primary pick location 'A1'.
  • This is purely textual information and by far the easiest method to use for people working in a warehouse
  • The big advantage of keeping things simple is that you can add whatever information you like..
    Example:

Batches and multiple locations

  • If you have more than one pick location, or different batches or 'lots' of the same product, you probably need to keep track of stock levels per location.
  • The easiest method to do this is to just add the location number (or 'batch' or 'lot' number) to the productID.
    Example:

  • This method gives you several different records for the same product and hence also separate stock counters and location designators.
    Example:
    product qty in stock location
    123456.A1 29 A1
    123456.A2 50 A2
    123456.A3 50 A3

  • An other example having a lot number.
    Example:
