Warehouses and bins
Create warehouses and organise them into areas and bins.

Steps
1. Create a warehouse
Click "New warehouse", enter the name, code and location, and save. The list shows how many products and units each warehouse holds.
2. Add bins
Open a warehouse and click "New bin". Enter a name, choose the type (Area or Bin) and, if needed, a "Parent bin". Repeat to build areas, shelves and bins.
3. See the stock
The warehouse page lists "Stock in this warehouse". Stock of a parent area includes the stock of all bins below it.
