Racks

List the racks, shelves or bins inside each warehouse, with a location note for each.

Racks are the shelves, bins or storage spots inside a warehouse, such as Rack A-1 in Aisle 3, Row B. Each rack belongs to one warehouse.

Before you begin

• The warehouse must exist. See Warehouses.
• Your role needs permission to view, create, edit or delete racks. See Users & Roles.

Common questions

Why doesn't my rack show in the opening stock grid? The grid lists only the racks of the warehouse selected on that entry. Check that the rack belongs to that warehouse.

Can I move a rack to another warehouse? Not by editing it today. Create a new rack in the other warehouse and delete the old one.

I set a rack to Inactive and it disappeared. The list shows only active racks, so an inactive rack is hidden, the same as a deleted one.

Do racks change my stock figures? No. Stock is kept per warehouse. The rack list only describes where goods sit on the floor.
