Managing Part Locations

Part locations represent the physical storage places for spare parts within a deployment — e.g. warehouses, shelves, bins, or service vehicles. Every spare part is tracked with a quantity and a part location, so you always know where a part is.

Hierarchy and part location templates

Part locations are hierarchical (e.g. Warehouse → Shelf A → Bin 3). The allowed structure is defined by a part location template. The template defines the levels of your storage and ensures new locations are created consistently.

When you create a child location, the matching template level is derived automatically from the parent location.

Note

A default part location template is available out of the box and is sufficient for most storage setups. If you need a custom structure, contact us — we’ll set up a matching template for your deployment.

Creating a part location

1. In the deployment, open the Inventory area and the part location management
2. Select Add part location — for a child location, starting from its parent location
3. Choose the part location type:
   • Inventory (default) — for locations where you store spare parts
   • Incoming — if you want to book incoming goods separately (e.g. to calculate prices)
4. Give it a name
5. Save the part location

Deleting part locations

A part location can only be deleted when it no longer holds any spare parts. Book or move the remaining parts to another location first.
