About location tracking

Learn how to assign and manage stock at your external locations

The Location tracking feature is used to track inventory sold from external locations. This feature can be used for situations where your stock is allocated to warehouses or can also be used in consignment scenarios. 


We'll Cover


Locations

Locations are used to contain details about your consignment locations. It can be added to represent each of your external warehouses or consignees - this allows you to assign stock to the location and track sales from this source, giving you a complete picture of your externally located stock activity.

A code and name are both required to uniquely identify each location that you create. Address details and notes can also be configured for each location.

Once a location has been created, you can transfer any product via a Transfer. 

The total stock allocated to external locations can be found via the Locations tab on your product and variation detail pages.

When you sell stock directly from the location, an order for the location should be created containing the sold stock. This will decrease the available stock on hand and also increase the sold count for the location.

While at the external location, your product stock is still considered part of your inventory totals. Your product inventory stock is decreased only when sold from the external location.


Note: Location features are only available in our STUDIO and INDIE+ plans.


Transfers

Transfers are used to move stock to an external location and to return stock to your Main warehouse. When a transfer is created, the stock is allocated to the location and removed from your available stock inventory totals. 


Add different prices for each of your locations.

Custom prices for locations/consignees can be configured by creating a Pricing Tier and then associating it with a Location. This will allow for Price Points to be created for the tier, which will appear in your Product Location Report.

Please see  How do I set a pricing tier for a location? For details.
