Creating locations with the wizard

The location wizard allows you to create many locations at once. It’s a great way to get started or to add new locations when your warehouse expands.

Creating locations

In the location wizard, you can specify the settings for how your locations should be created.

Warehouse

Here you can choose which warehouse the locations should be created for, in case you manage multiple warehouses.

Parent location

Here you can select whether the locations you’re creating should be placed under an existing parent location.

Location type

You can create different location types and assign a type to each location. For example, you might create types based on the size of a location or how easily it can be reached.

Temporary location

By default, a product remains linked to a location until you manually unlink it. For a temporary location, the product is automatically unlinked when the stock at that location reaches 0.

Bulk location

If a location is a bulk location, its stock (depending on your general settings) is either never used for picklists or only used once all pick locations are empty. Read more about bulk locations and picklists.

Exclusive location

If a location is marked as exclusive, only one product can be linked to it.

Once you’ve set up your location settings, you can define the levels.

Type

Choose whether this level should be labeled with letters (A, B, C) or numbers (01, 02, 03).

Start

Specify where numbering for this level should begin. The default is A for letters and 01 for numbers, but you can start further along the sequence if you like.
