Stock Locations

You can find this section under Stock Control > Stock Locations in the IRP Admin left navigation menu.

You use this section to view and edit all stock locations that are currently in the system. You should add any physical location where stock is held, for example in a warehouse or in a shop.

To ensure that there are no discrepancies between the level of stock recorded in the IRP and the level in the physical locations, ensure that you carry out regular Stock Takes.

The main Stock Locations page (StockLocations.aspx) shows several details for each of your locations in a separate row:

How To Add or Edit a Stock Location

To add or edit a Stock Location, follow the steps below. If you are closing a Stock Location, see the note below called Note on Deleting Stock Locations.

  1. Go to Stock Control > Stock Locations in the IRP Admin left navigation menu.
  2. To add a new location, click the Add New Stock Location button at the top of the page.
    To edit an existing location, click the Edit button on the right side of the row belonging to the location that you want to edit.
  3. Enter or edit the details in the tabs described in the sections that follow.

Location Details tab

Use the Location Details tab to enter the key information about the Stock Location:

SettingDescription
Location Details
Stock Location ID This is a unique IRP identifier for this location, added automatically by the IRP.
Active Inactive locations will not be available within certain areas of the IRP Admin. Stock locations should be deactivated if they are closed or no longer used instead of deleting the location.
Location Name Enter a recognisable name that will be visible throughout the IRP.
Stock Available For Web When this is ticked, the stock levels for this location will contribute to the overall web stock levels. When an order (including an EPOS order) is fulfilled from a Stock Location that has 'Make Stock Available For Web' enabled, then the InStock value (which determines if something is available on the B2C site) will remain the same. When an order is fulfilled from a Stock Location that has 'Make Stock Available For Web' disabled, then the InStock value will be readjusted to the correct value rather than being deducted twice, etc. Note that, if this is not enabled, stock won't be included in the web stock level value and any products that only have levels in this particular location won't appear in stock on the front end - they would have to have a stock level at another location which has 'Stock Available For Web' enabled.
Deliver To Store Location When ticked, this location will be available for selection by customers placing ‘deliver to store’ orders. Note that stock levels are not taken into consideration for deliver to store orders (unlike click & collect orders).

Trade Fulfilment Countries tab

For example, you could have a location in France show its stock to all countries in the EU by adding all EU countries to its Trade Fulfilment Countries.

You can add Trade Fulfilment Countries using either of the following methods:

  • Add groups of countries: Use the 'Add All Countries/States In' setting to select all countries and/or states in the group selected. If you have sub-countries set up (for example, the individual states in the USA), these will all be added in one go. Click the Add Countries From Group button to add the selected group.
  • Add individual countries: Select countries in the 'Available Countries' box and click the Add button to move them to the 'Fulfil Orders For These Countries' box.

Note on deleting Stock Locations

Sometimes you may close a Stock Location and, although there is an option to delete a Stock Location (by clicking the ‘Delete Stock Location’ button on the StockLocationEdit.aspx page), this is generally NOT recommended. This is because, once a Stock Location is deleted, other information relating to that location will also be removed or will no longer make sense in the system. Instead, you can deactivate a stock location by unchecking the ‘Active’ box. If relevant, you could also update the closed location so that it is not a Click & Collect or Deliver to Store location. Once a location is deactivated it will no longer appear in certain lists within the IRP Admin such as within Stock Control and in certain areas of the front end such as Click and Collect locations or Deliver to Store locations.

As regards the IRP EPOS, you can deactivate tills on the EposTillEdit.aspx page. This is recommended for old Stock Locations as this will keep the historical information for reporting.

What are the 'Latitude' and 'Longitude' buttons used for on the 'Edit Stock Location' page?
These values are used when the IRP calculates distances for customers when they choose Click & Collect checkout.

At what point is my web stock level updated after customers order items?
Your web stock level is updated as soon as a customer places an order on your website.
At what point is my local stock level updated?
Your local stock level us updated when an order is moved from Approved to Picking and Packing, depending on the Location of the User processing the order. Note that when kit order items are dispatched, auto-dispatched, cancelled or returned the stock location levels for the constituent kit items are adjusted by the ordered quantity. This will prevent stock location level synchronisation errors. Fixed Kit order items are also excluded from all stock location level adjustments.
