Warehouse rooms
Inside each warehouse you can define rooms — physical sub-locations such as floors, sections, or zones. Each room can hold a number of racks, which is where individual items eventually sit.
Before you start
- The warehouse must already exist. See Warehouses.
- Decide on a naming scheme that everyone in the warehouse understands. Short, consistent names work better than long descriptions.
Open the rooms screen
- Open Data Entry and click Warehouses.
- Find the warehouse and click its Manage Rooms button.
The rooms screen shows the warehouse name in the heading and lists the rooms it contains.
Add a room
- On the rooms screen, click Add Room.
- Fill in the Room Name and an optional Description.
- Click Create Room.
Manage racks
Each room row has a Manage Racks button that shows the rack count and opens the racks for that room.
Find a room
Use the Search rooms… box to narrow the list. The list pages in as you scroll.
Edit or remove
If you have permission, each room row also shows Edit and a delete icon. The delete confirmation reads Delete "name"? and the only action button is Delete. A room that still contains racks cannot be removed — remove the racks first.
Common questions
How is the warehouse organised?
Each warehouse contains rooms, and each room contains racks. The structure is two levels deep — rooms do not nest inside other rooms.
Do I have to record the room when adding stock?
That depends on how your administrator has configured the inventory module. When room location is required, every stock arrival asks you which room the item is going into.
