MULTI LOCATION

cindy99

I have multiple locations (not all are retail outlets, some are storage warehouses only)
My questions are:

1) How can I see the quantity per location? Woocommerce only lets me see the total quantity, and I have to go through each product to check the inventory level per location.

2) I also want to be able to export the stock quantity per location so that I know what products has run out from our retail outlets so they can make a request from the storage warehouses.

Hi cindy99

You can handle stock in different locations, with our Multi-inventory add-on
You can export any WooCommerce or ATUM data (including data from the Multi-Inventory add-on) with our ATUM Export&Import PRO add-on to CSV files

If you have further questions, just let me know, please 😉

Best Regards,

Hi Thanks for your quick reply.
My question is,

1) Is Multi Invenotry the same as Multi Location?
2) If i tick the box that says let ATUM manage inventory, what will happen to my POS app that is also a 3rd party app that manages our POS?
3) How will I enter the quantity in ATUM per location? Do I enter them again mannually? The data is already in Woocommerce. Will it copy the data automatically?
4) I am not looking into adding locations on the website. I do not want my customers to choose which location to buy from. We use a default location where the website shows only the stock from 1 of our warehouses.

Hi cindy99

To every inventory you add to any product, you can assign a location if you want to categorize them. Also, you can change the inventory names to easily identify them.
That checkbox is only to hide some products from Stock Central's main table view and they will be shown in the "Uncontrolled" view instead. Just that. So it won't affect any POS system. However, the only POS system we know that is 100% compatible with our Multi-Inventory add-on is the one that comes with our mobile App (still in beta).
The Multi-Inventory add-on will get the stock currently present on the product (when you enable it for that product) and will add that quantity to the "Main Inventory", thereafter, you can create as many "extra" inventories as needed, and add the stock you want to each of them.
By default, Multi-Inventory handles the stock automatically according to your configuration. So the customer won't know which inventory is going to be used and the stock will be discounted from the inventories according to the sorting mode you used (FIFO, LIFO, manual, etc).

For further info, you can read the docs:
