Inventory Locations

Basics

An inventory location is a specific bin in a Warehouse where stock items are located.

The available values are defined in picklists in the Inventory Location object.

The same set of picklist values are used for all Warehouses. Individual warehouses cannot have custom bin locations.

Four hierarchical location codes in sequence define the inventory location:

  1. Row

    The default values are the numbers 1-10.

  2. Section

    The default values are the letters A-Z.

  3. Level

    The default values are the numbers 1-10.

  4. Bin

    The default values are the letters A-Z.

Together, these four bin locations become the a unique identifier of a specific bin in a Warehouse in the format:
01:B:02:C where

  • 01 is the Row

  • B is a Section of the Row

  • 02 is a Level of the Section

  • C is the Bin on the Level

Assign primary and secondary bin locations from a Stock Item record.
