Setting Up Stock Locations

Settings → Stock Locations — manage inventory storage locations for materials and products. A location is a named place where items are held: a physical space like a shelf, a room or a second workshop, or a logical grouping that suits your workflow.

Examples

Creating one

1. Go to Settings → Stock Locations.
2. Click Add Location.
3. Enter a name.
4. Optionally add a description clarifying what belongs there.
5. Save.

When you need them

• You store material in more than one place — a workshop and a lock-up, say.
• Finished goods live apart from raw stock.
• You want production output to land somewhere specific.

If everything lives in one room, one location is enough — do not create structure you will then have to maintain.

Where locations show up

• On purchase order lines, so receiving puts stock in the right place.
• On sales order lines, so shipping takes it from the right place.
• On production orders as the output location for finished goods.
• On manual stock adjustments.

Because every movement records a location, stock can be read per location rather than as one total. If you hold 500 g of soy wax in the main workshop and 200 g in a second studio, both figures are visible as well as the combined 700 g.

Editing and deleting

• Locations can be renamed at any time.
• A location with stock movements linked to it cannot be deleted — move the stock elsewhere first, then delete it.
• With a single location, set it as the default so it is pre-selected on every movement.
