Create multiple warehouse locations at once.

Create warehouse locations in groups of racks, shelves, and bins, then print a barcode label for each location.

Access

  1. Navigate to ShipOS → Inventory → Locations (opens the Cybership dashboard in a new tab) (warehouse must be selected)
  2. Click Actions dropdown, then select Build Shelves

Structure

Prefix: Zone-Aisle (e.g., 1-AA)

  • Final format: Prefix-Rack-Shelf-Bin (e.g., 1-AA-01-01-01)

Racks: Physical storage units

  • Automatically numbered: 01, 02, 03...

Shelves: Horizontal levels within racks

  • Automatically numbered: 01, 02, 03...
  • Set bin count per shelf (1-99)

Location Properties:

  • Location Type: Optional categorization
  • Pickable: Can be used for order picking (default: most should be pickable)
  • Sellable: Inventory counts toward available stock (default: most should be sellable)

Settings

Global Settings: Apply same config to all bins on shelf (faster)

Individual Bin Settings: Configure each bin separately, bulk actions available

Create

  1. Configure structure (prefix, racks, shelves, bins, properties)
  2. Select Preview to check the location names and total
  3. Click Create All Locations
  4. Cybership checks for naming conflicts and creates the locations
  5. Print the labels from the PDF tab when it opens

If the label PDF does not open, check the Locations list (opens the Cybership dashboard in a new tab) before trying to create the same locations again. Locations can be saved even if their labels could not be generated.

After creation:

  • All locations are immediately available for use
  • Barcode labels can be printed and attached to physical locations

Example

Layout:

  • Prefix: 1-AA
  • 3 racks × 4 shelves × 6 bins = 72 locations
  • Names: 1-AA-01-01-01 through 1-AA-03-04-06

If names conflict, correct the reported names before retrying. To extend a layout, use unused rack numbers or a new prefix, or create the additional locations individually.
