Learn what each product field means in your inventory

Updated over 2 years ago

Inside the Inventory Item:

Bin Location: This is used to identify product location in the warehouse (this field can be shown on all printable documents). Please be aware that the Bin Location accepts both numbers and text and thus is sorted alphabetically. If you have location numbers containing more than 1 digit you must preface all smaller numbers with a 0 in order to get proper sorting later.

Bin Location numbers going in [1, 4, 12, 36] is bad as it will sort as [1, 12, 36, 4], but if you replace gaps with 0 like [01, 04, 12, 36] it will not mess up and sort correctly in ascending or decending order.

You can experiment with how your Bin Location will sort on this website.
