INVENTORY

Storage Categories

The Storage Categories function is the most efficient way of micromanaging storage locations in the Inventory module, which aids the smooth performance of ‘Putaway Rules.’ We shall elaborate on the operation of ‘Putaway Rules’ in the upcoming section.

Go to the Settings menu and check the Storage Categories option under ‘Warehouse.’

Now, click on the Storage Categories option from the Configuration menu. You will get a window previewing all the default and manually configured categories.

Click on the Create button to add a new storage category to the existing set of configurations

Assign a name for the new record in the Storage Category field. Select any of the three options of ‘Allow New Product’ – ‘If the location is empty,’ ‘If all products are the same,’ or ‘Allow mixed products’ – to indicate the instance where you want to allow a new product. Fill in the fields like Max Weight and Company. You can define the attributes like Package Type and Quantity under ‘Capacity by Package.’

The Capacity by Product section allows you to define a Product, its Quantity, and its Unit of Measure.

You can also define storage locations using these categories.
