Introduction

You can assign stock items to warehouse locations within Khaos Control to help manage stock movement and storage.

The process differs depending on whether the location is configured as a Single Stock Location or a Multi Stock Location.

This article explains how to add stock items to both types of warehouse location.

For a Single Stock Location

Use this method when the warehouse location is configured to hold only one stock item.

Open a Warehouse screen (show me how).
Open the required warehouse by double-clicking it.
Important: Select the warehouse where the stock is physically located, not the Quarantine warehouse.
Enter Edit Mode by pressing Alt + E or clicking Edit.
Click in the Stock Code column.
Press F8 on your keyboard.
When the stock selection window appears, select the stock item you want to assign to the location.
Save your changes if required.

For a Multi Stock Location

Use this method when the warehouse location is configured to hold multiple stock items.

Open a Warehouse screen (show me how).
Open the required warehouse by double-clicking it.
Important: Select the warehouse where the stock is physically located, not the Quarantine warehouse.
Enter Edit Mode by pressing Alt + E or clicking Edit.
Select the required stock location in the upper grid.
In the lower grid, click Add Item button.
In the selection window, choose the stock item or items you want to assign to the location.

Save your changes if required.

Result

The selected stock item(s) will be linked to the chosen warehouse location, allowing Khaos Control to track where stock is stored within the warehouse.

Additional Information

Single Stock Locations

Single Stock Locations can only hold one stock item at a time. When assigning a stock item, the location becomes dedicated to that item.

Multi Stock Locations

Multi Stock Locations can hold several different stock items, making them ideal for bulk storage areas or locations where products are stored together.

Choosing the Correct Warehouse

When linking stock items, always select the warehouse where the stock is physically stored. Do not use the Quarantine warehouse unless the stock is genuinely being held in quarantine.
