What can you set for warehouse locations?
- Answer
With warehouse locations you track stock per place, for example Shop and Shelf 1A, with its own quantity per location for each product. The stock of a product is the sum of all locations. Warehouse locations costs nothing itself, but only works together with Purchasing (€10 per month, €10 in total).
- Where to find it
Point of sale and products > Warehouse locations (
/Magazijnlocaties)- Explanation
On the tab you create locations with a name and optionally a barcode that hangs on the shelf. Clicking a location shows what is stored there. You also choose, per POS, which location the POS sells from. A sale is deducted from the POS's fixed location. Online store and sales without a fixed location are deducted from the default location. If a location runs out, the sale simply goes ahead and the location goes below zero. On the Stocks tab you then get the column Stock location with a filter on it.
