Shelves and shelf labels

Shelves lists every shelf in the warehouse and what’s on it, plus three built-in places. Print a label for each shelf so it can be scanned when putting stock away.

1. 11. A shelf, with its units and SKUs.
2. 22. Receiving: delivered stock waiting to be put away.
3. 33. Tick the shelves whose labels you want.
4. 44. Print a label for each ticked shelf, so it can be scanned.

Tap or click the picture to open it full size.

Count needed (red)	The place shows fewer than zero, for example after more were picked than recorded. Recount the SKU: see Find, adjust and move stock.

Adding and switching off shelves

Only admins can add shelves or switch a shelf off or on. An admin switches off only an empty shelf. If you need new shelves, ask an admin.
