Setting up locations and bins

Applies to: All tiers  ·  Last reviewed: 2026-06-24

What this is

A location is a named bin or bay inside a warehouse. Locations are where stock physically lives, and two toggles decide how each one behaves. They are managed at Settings > Locations.

The two toggles

• Sellable: inventory in this location can be allocated to orders.
• Pickable: inventory in this location shows up on pick lists.

A normal pick face is Sellable + Pickable. Reserve or overstock shelves you pick from only when refilling can be Sellable but not Pickable. A quarantine or damages bin should be not Sellable, so its stock never gets promised to a customer. There is no separate location "type", the bin's job is conveyed by its name plus these two toggles.

Create a location

1. Go to Settings > Locations > New Location.
2. Choose the Warehouse (required).
3. Enter the Location Name (required).
4. Set Sellable and Pickable to suit the bin's role.
5. Click Create.

Import locations in bulk

For a new warehouse, use Settings > Locations > Import CSV (one warehouse per import). The only required column is name. The preview validates rows before you commit, then Import N rows. Imported locations default to Sellable + Pickable, so edit any quarantine or reserve bins afterward to turn the right toggle off.

Naming bins

A consistent code makes picking faster and onboarding easier. A warehouse-style scheme like AISLE-ROW/SECTION-SHELF-BIN (for example 02-CA-01-B1 for Aisle 2, Row C Section A, Shelf 1, Bin 1) reads cleanly on a pick list and scales to thousands of bins. One SKU per bin keeps counts and picks unambiguous.
