Warehouse map
Zones, bins, containers, and audits — how your floor plan works.
Warehouses and zones
What's a "zone"?
A group of bins — like "Aisle A, Unit B, shelves 1–5". Each zone holds multiple coded bins (e.g., AA101, AA102).
How do I create a zone?
Open the locations screen and add a zone: enter the area letter, unit letter, shelf count, and spots per shelf. Every bin is created automatically.
How do I delete a zone?
Open the zone and delete it. Move any items in its bins first.
How do I see bin contents?
- Open the Warehouse Map.
- Select the bin or shelf you want to inspect.
- Tap Select Items to see everything stored there.
Carts and containers
What's a "container"?
A cart, tote, or movable bin. Useful for shows — load it up and know exactly what's on it.
How do I create or rename a container?
- Go to Warehouse Map → Carts & Containers.
- Tap Add Container and fill in the details.
- To rename, open the container and tap Edit.
How do I take a container out of service?
Open it and mark it inactive. It disappears from most screens; history stays.
Warehouse audits
How do I do an audit?
- Pick the bin to check.
- Scan or type every SKU you find there.
- Submit.
The system compares what you found against what it expected.
What does a difference look like?
| Row type | Meaning | Suggested action |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ Match | Expected and found. | Nothing. |
| ⚠️ Missing | Expected, not found. | Search other bins, then mark lost or move. |
| ➕ Unexpected | Found, not expected. | Add to this bin, or move to its correct bin. |
What actions can I take on a difference?
- Accept correction — update the system to match reality.
- Move item — reassign to another bin.
- Mark lost — flag for reporting.
- Ignore — leave open to fix later.
- Re-audit — start over for this bin.
A reconciliation report is created and stays in audit history. Audit as often as fits your business — one bin per day, weekly sweep, etc.
