Overview

You create a manage locations from the locations list view in administration. The location list in administration is the master list of locations for your business.

There is a locations list view in the navigation panel under inventory. That list is product locations, which locations products are in. It is not the master list of locations.

If your site has a warehouse running multiple locations you have to set up your warehouse location map in Readysell before doing any inventory transactions.

For new sites we can import the location data from a spreadsheet.
You need to check the locations with care to ensure they are correct.
If you have more than one site, each site can have a separate list of locations.
If you have just one location at your site :
- All purchase receipts will go to that location,
- You don't have to click the pick button to pick stock transfer our and sale shipment transactions.
If you have multiple locations :
- Locations can be part of a zone, to control the flow of picking, such as to get bulk paper products always picked last
- Locations can have a supply type, for example to stop retail zone locations being considered by picking slips from the warehouse. Note, the retail zone product can show on the picking slip with no location, so the warehouse team know it is in retail and can still pick it if they have to
- You have to specify the location when you process a purchase receipt. The location will default to the primary product location for that product.
- You have to click the pick button before you pick a stock transfer our or a sales shipment. As the system needs to split the lines between stock locations (Note: except if stock allocation is turned off for your site. Most sites use stock allocation, but if you are not using stock allocation, do not press the pick button).

Set the supply type of any location to be used for quarantine stock to "Ignore". The "Quarantine" tick box on locations is only related to picking stock. A special case where you want stock to allocate but want to quarantine it from picking. Ticking Quarantine on a location does not make the location into a quarantine location. Only the supply type can do that.

This feature is not available in Readysell Lite.

All locations "Depending on the filter you choose up the top" and on the right it displays the products in the particular location.
