Add New Locations, Modify Location Code and Name

The improved storage management feature enables users to modify location codes and names while creating new locations and through edit actions. This allows for better alignment with organization-specific naming conventions and ensures consistency between digital records and location codes in the physical labels.

Another key feature is the system's prevention of duplicate location codes. When users attempt to create or edit a location with a code that already exists, the system will provide an error notification. This functionality helps maintain data integrity and ensures that each location is uniquely identifiable.

Add New Locations with Custom Codes in an Existing Storage Section

Users can add new locations using custom codes to match existing physical locations in their warehouse. To create multiple locations with custom codes at once, copy the list of codes from a spreadsheet and paste it into the location creation window.

Step 1: Click on Add Option

Step 2: If you prefer to add locations individually, enter a code in the code field for the first rack, then click to add another row and continue entering codes one by one for each additional rack.

Step 3: Instead of adding each location manually, you can bulk-create multiple locations with custom codes by pasting a list. To do this, select the Paste a list option.

Go to your spreadsheet that contains the list of codes, copy the codes, return to the application, and paste them into the provided field.

As you paste, the system displays the number of locations that will be created. When you are ready, click Add locations to create all of them at once.

Step 4: Verify the newly added locations.

After adding, expand the relevant level (for example, Rack) in the storage hierarchy to verify that all locations have been created.
