Allocate Storage Locations

​

1.0 Enable Locations in Warehouse Settings

1. Navigate to Stock > Warehouse > Warehouse List.
2. Click the warehouse where you want to enable sub-locations.
3. In the warehouse form, check “Enable Bin Location Management” (or a similarly labeled option).
4. Click Save.

​

1.1 Create Bin/Location Records

1. Go to Stock > Bin Location > New Bin Location.
2. Fill in:
   • Bin Code (unique short identifier, e.g., “A1-01”)
   • Warehouse (select the parent warehouse)
   • Parent Bin (optional—if using a nested hierarchy like Rack → Shelf)
   • Description (e.g., “Front-Left Rack, Top Shelf”)
3. Click Save.
4. Repeat for each bin, rack, or sub-location in the warehouse.

​

1.2 Allocate Location During Purchase Receipt

1. When receiving goods, open a Purchase Receipt under Buying > Purchase Order > Purchase Order List → Create > Purchase Receipt.
2. In the Items table, confirm the Qty Received and Target Warehouse for each line.
3. A new Bin Location column appears (if enabled). Click in that cell to select the bin where you will store the received items.
4. If you need multiple bins for a single line (e.g., split across two bins), click the “+” icon to add another row and allocate quantities to each bin.
5. After assigning locations, click Save, then Submit.
   • The stock ledger now reflects item movements into specific bin locations.

​

1.3 Allocate or Reassign Locations via Stock Entry

1. To move items into bins after initial receipt, go to Stock > Stock Entry > New Stock Entry.
2. Set Purpose = Material Transfer.
3. In the Items table, add the item, then:
   • Source Warehouse/Bin: select the current location (or warehouse if not yet stored in a bin)
   • Target Warehouse/Bin: choose the bin where you want to store it
   • Qty: enter the quantity to move
4. Repeat as needed for multiple bins or items.
5. Click Save, then Submit.

1.4 Verify Bin-Level Stock

1. Navigate to Stock > Reports > Bin-Wise Stock.
2. Filter by Warehouse and/or Item.
3. Click Run.
4. The report displays:
   • Bin Code, Item Code, Qty on Hand in each bin
5. Drill down into any bin to see recent transactions affecting that location.
