Address storage allows you to subdivide a warehouse into several locations and bins and store products in certain places. Products can be received, stored, moved, and shipped from specific bins. To do this, you need to specify the bin name (location) in transactions to indicate where the product should be placed or retrieved from.
If a warehouse has bins, an Inventory Count is conducted by bins.
Create a bin
- In the Kladana workspace, click on the user icon and select Settings → Warehouses.
- In the list of warehouses, select the warehouse you want to split into bins or click +Warehouse to create a new warehouse.
- Click +Location and enter its name. A storage location can be renamed and deleted. You can create up to 10 locations for a warehouse.
- Click +Bin. Specify its name, location and barcode.
- Check the Do inventory counts by bins checkbox to perform inventory counts by bins.
- Click Save.

A bin can be specified as the location of a product in the following transactions: Receiving, Shipment, Stock Adjustment, Write-Off, Transfer, Sales Return, and Purchase Return. For example, let’s look at how bins are used in Receivings.

- Click Save.
