How to create warehouse areas and locations?

I. Warehouse Area Settings

The term “warehouse area” refers to a storage area or an area with a specific purpose. This allows users to personalize their names based on the operational functions of various areas of their warehouses. Set the authority to use the area location in the specific function module. The user can name the area based on the business model, such as picking area, return area, storage area, and receiving area, for example.

II. Warehouse  Location settings

The “location” refers to the inventory’s storage location. It could be a store number, a shelf number, a pallet location, a closet, a warehouse sub-area, a retail store, or a virtual business operation (such as RMA or return or damage). This could be a storage area that represents a small portion of the building or business process.

• The storage area must be associated with the location name.
• The name of the location must be unique. The name of the warehouse area and the location name cannot be identical.

Set the name of the location and the order in which you want to pick. After you’ve created a new location, it will appear under this area, and the subsequent outbound order will be able to find the corresponding location for picking. Click Edit on the right to change the name and function of this location; you can also delete it.
