Add a location

Create a new warehouse, outlet or virtual location to track stock separately. Every business starts with one location called Main location; you can add more whenever you open a new storage place or sales outlet.

বাংলায়: নতুন লোকেশন যুক্ত করলে আলাদা গুদাম, শাখা বা অনলাইন পয়েন্ট থেকে স্টক ট্র্যাক করা যায়। নতুন লোকেশনের স্টক শূন্য দিয়ে শুরু হয়।

Where to find it: Sidebar › Settings › Locations › Add location Who can do it: Anyone with the Locations permission in Settings.

Add a location

  1. Go to Settings and open Locations.
  2. Select Add location.
  3. Fill in the location details:
    • Name (required): "Dhanmondi Warehouse" or "Gulshan Outlet". This appears in the Inventory page and on orders.
    • Code (optional): A short reference like "WH-01" or "GUL-1". Used only as a label; it does not change how the system works.
    • Type (required, default Warehouse): Choose Warehouse, Outlet or Virtual. This is a label only and does not affect behaviour.
    • Address, City, Phone (optional): Free text. Helps you remember the location but is not used in the system.
    • Fulfilment channels (all on by default): Toggle which sales channels can use stock from this location. Online = storefront orders; POS = in-person sales; Shopify = Shopify store; Manual = hand-entered orders in the dashboard.
    • Fulfilment priority (default 0): A number that orders its rank with other locations. When an order could draw from several locations, higher numbers are checked first. Leave at 0 unless you need to prefer one location.
  4. Select Create location.

The location is created, active, and appears in the Locations list and the Inventory location switcher. It holds zero stock for every product until you receive stock or set a count.

What happens after creation

  • The new location appears in Settings › Locations with an Active badge.
  • On the Inventory page, you can now switch locations with the Filters control.
  • When creating orders, staff can choose Fulfil from to pick which location supplies the stock.
  • Stock is completely separate: a product with 10 units at Main location and 5 at the new location are tracked alone.
  • Transfer stock from Main location to move units over.

When to add a location

Add a location when you:

  • Open a second warehouse or storeroom.
  • Add a retail outlet or pop-up shop.
  • Want to track stock by sales channel (e.g. one location for online, one for POS).
  • Use a virtual location to track stock you do not physically hold (like dropship inventory).

You do not need multi-location if all your stock lives in one place.

Questions people ask

Can I have more than 2 locations?

Yes. Add as many as you need. There is no limit in Omnikyo.

Do I have to set all four channels?

No. Toggle off channels the location does not serve. An offline-only outlet can have Online and Shopify off.

What does "Fulfilment priority" really do?

When an order from a channel could draw from several locations that serve it (and no specific Fulfil from was chosen), Omnikyo picks the one with the highest priority number first. If two locations have the same priority, the oldest one is used. The default location is always checked first, regardless of priority.

Can I change the location details later?

Yes. Edit the location anytime.
