On Cloud, an inventory location represents the physical location where you store the inventory-tracked items. Cloud supports three types of inventory locations: Warehouse, Site, and Van.
You will need to be a member of the built-in Administrator group to add inventory locations.
When you enable the Inventory Management functionality, the location "Warehouse" is created by default. You can create as many sites and vans as you want.
Add inventory locations
To add an inventory location:
1/ Go to “Settings > Inventory > Locations,” and click "New inventory location.”
2/ In the modal, add a name for the location, select the type of location, and specify the address.
3/ Click “Create.”
Set up warehouse hierarchy
You can set up the warehouse hierarchy by adding zones, aisles, and other levels.
Here are some things you need to know before creating the hierarchy.
The warehouse hierarchy has the following levels: zone > aisle > rack > shelf > bin.
You can skip a hierarchy level if you don’t use it in your warehouse. For example, you can create aisles without creating zones or create racks under zones.
Once you have checked in inventory-tracked items into a non-warehouse location, you cannot delete that location unless you move the items to another location.
To add a zone or other level:
1/ Click the 3-dot menu of the warehouse and click “Create new zone.”
2/ In the modal, change the level if needed and add a name for it.
3/ Click “Create.”
The new level under the warehouse will be indented to the right. You can add more levels at the same hierarchy or under other levels.
Here is an example of the warehouse hierarchy.
