How to add a storage location

Add separate storage locations to track supplies, inventory, waste, and inventory checks for each location.

What the storage list shows

The Inventory → Storage locations tab displays a table with all storage locations for your business. It includes the following columns:

• # — the storage location's number.
• Title — the storage location's name, such as “Kitchen” or “Bar”.
• Address — the storage location's address, if you entered one when creating it.
• Sum — the total value of all products and ingredients in this storage location at the current time.

The Total row at the bottom of the table shows the total inventory value across all storage locations.

How to customize the columns: click ⋮ in the upper-right corner of the table → Columns → select the columns you want to display in the storage list.

How to export the storage list: click ⋮ in the upper-right corner of the table → Export.
