Locations

Use a location to identify where inventory is stored. Choose a static location for fixed storage, an LPN for movable storage, or a tote for picking. A location type groups similar storage for filtering and billing.

Reviewing Locations

Open ShipOS → Inventory → Locations (opens the Cybership dashboard in a new tab). The list shows the locations in the warehouse selected at the top of the page.

Each row shows the location's Location Type, On Hand quantity, and whether it is Pickable and Sellable. Select Pickable, Sellable, Empty, or Hospital above the list to narrow it, or search by location name. When an LPN is inside a static location, expand that location's row to see it.

Totes are picking containers, so they are listed on ShipOS → Inventory → Totes (opens the Cybership dashboard in a new tab) instead.

Creating Locations

To create one static location:

1. Open ShipOS → Inventory → Locations (opens the Cybership dashboard in a new tab) and select the warehouse.
2. Select Actions → Create Static Location.
3. Enter the Location Name and Barcode. Leave Barcode empty to generate one. Names and barcodes must be unique in the warehouse.
4. Optionally, select a Location Type, then Confirm Selection.
5. Set Pickable and Sellable for how the stock will be used. See the setups below.
6. Select Create Static Location. Cybership opens the new location.

A static location has no parent location. Use Actions → Create LPN for movable storage, such as a pallet, and Move LPN to place an LPN inside a static location. To create many locations at once, use Build Shelves or import a CSV.

Open a location from its name in the list to review its details, Inventory, and History. Select Generate Label to print its barcode label. Scan the location's label to review its stock on the warehouse floor.

Common Location Setups

• Pickable and sellable: stock can supply standard picking and contribute to sale availability.
• Non-pickable but sellable: overstock can be sold but must be moved or used through an eligible explicit-source workflow before fulfillment.
• Non-sellable: stock is excluded from sale availability and must also be non-pickable.
• Hospital: use for problem inventory requiring investigation, rather than treating every non-sellable location as a hospital.

Review the naming scheme before generating labels or building many locations.
