Storage Hierarchy Creation

We have revamped the storage management system with a new design. Create efficient Storage hierarchies for Inventory Management, using the steps below:

1. Navigate to Hopstack's Set-Up menu and choose 'Storage Management' for streamlined storage organisation and control

2. View Multiple Warehouses: An Admin can seamlessly oversee various warehouses within their facility, offering the flexibility to establish multiple storage sections per warehouse. Additionally, admins can duplicate existing storage sections within a warehouse for added convenience and efficiency

3. Customise Storage Hierarchies per Section: An admin can construct intricate hierarchies using diverse storage entities, enabling users to establish hierarchical structures such as Zone > Racks > Pallets and beyond. Follow the steps below:

a. Create Storage Section:

• Under the selected warehouse, click “Create Storage Section”, and view the new “Storage Section Details” page to add the hierarchies.

User search icon to search a warehouse, storage section or the location code

• Hopstack offers customisable storage sections with distinct characteristics (regular, air-conditioned, chilled, freezer), each assigned a code for efficient organisation and retrieval within a single warehouse facility

  

  
  

• Click Build Your Hierarchy> Add Level to establish a unique organisational structure for the selected storage section, enhancing efficiency and accessibility.

• Choose a storage type from the list.

  • Racks

  • Zone

  • Aisle

  • Floor

  • Section

  • Shelf
    

• Specify the range for the sub-type to generate distinct sections; for instance, selecting "Zones" with a range of 4 will create four unique zones
  The sub-type can be chosen from the below list.

  • Bin

  • Pallet

  • Tray

  • Tray Position

  • Pallet Position

  • Cases

The user can preview the generated structure to proceed

The user can switch to edit mode to edit the hierarchy, add a sub-hierarchy, update status, etc.

• Enhance flexibility by specifying capacity either by volume or storage units (e.g., pallets), empowering users to tailor storage measurements according to their needs. Each zone can have a different way of allocating the capacity

• Enable seamless duplication of capacity across all sub-hierarchies with a single click, offering convenient flexibility in managing storage allocations

• We have the flexibility to update the Volume Capacity (CBM) along with length, width and height

  
  

  

• Upon clicking "Save," the hierarchy will be established as illustrated below

  

  
  

• Admins can effortlessly create nested hierarchies within a storage section, facilitating the organisation of sub-hierarchies for enhanced storage management. Click “Add Sub-hierarchy”

  

  
  

• Upon clicking "Add Hierarchy," admins can establish nesting levels by selecting the storage type, sub-type, and specifying the range. For instance, creating racks within a zone with the desired range, as depicted below

• Admins will be able to Apply the same hierarchy structure to the other parent hierarchies in this Storage Type, by clicking that checkbox. All the hierarchies and sub-hierarchies will have the same representation, making it simpler and easier for you to replicate your physical warehouse

  

• On clicking “save” the hierarchies and their sub-hierarchies will be saved

Admins retain the ability to delete hierarchies as needed, allowing for adjustments in range based on the physical layout of the warehouse, thereby optimising storage utilisation
