Storage locations

Storage locations are the warehouse → room → rack hierarchy that the inventory screens use to record where every item lives. The Stock screen exposes two location breakdowns reachable from the per-head Manage view.

Per-head location breakdown

  1. Open InventoryStock.
  2. Click Manage on a row.
  3. Click Locations at the top right of the modal.

This opens a Location Breakdown tree showing every godown, room, and rack that holds stock for the selected product head, with the total quantity at the top.

Per-code location breakdown

In the same Manage view, each product code row carries a View Location button. This opens a Location Breakdown tree for that single product code — the same layout as the head-level view, but scoped to one code.

Editing the warehouse layout

The breakdown views are read-only. To add or change godowns, rooms, or racks, use the records screens — see Warehouses and Warehouse rooms.

Common questions

What is a rack?

A rack is the lowest level of the storage hierarchy. Where a room is the area, a rack is the specific shelf, bin, or pallet position within it. Racks make it possible to locate an item within seconds in a busy warehouse.

Can two product heads share a rack?

Yes. A rack can hold many heads at once.

How do I add a new rack?

Add it from the warehouse rooms screen — see Warehouse rooms.
