Location

To better manage your warehousing and workshop spaces, you need to divide them into storage zones. Storage zones are divided into locations. Locations are managed by location type.

After your storage zones and location types are set in the Storage zone and Location type pages, you can create locations. Each location is defined by a name and an ID. You can define how many items can be stored in it, as well as the weight and volume capacity of the location.

Create a location

  1. Enter a name and an ID for the location.
  2. Select the site where it is located. If you select a storage zone first, the site defaults from it.
  3. Select a location type.
  4. Select a storage zone. If you have selected a site already, the selection list displays only the storage zones linked to that site.
  5. Indicate whether goods considered to be dangerous can be stored in the location or not.
  6. The maximum weight, volume, and number of items that can be stored in the location default from the location type. You can change the default values if necessary.

    Those capacities are also displayed graphically as a percentage bar to help you visualize how much weight and volume, or how many items can still be stored in the location.

  7. Save.

Edit a location

You cannot edit the Site, Type, or Zone fields when the location is in use.
