Add warehouse positions

Manual: Adding Warehouse Positions via Bulk Action (OMS/WMS)

With this bulk action, you can link multiple warehouse positions to products in your warehouse at once within afosto.app (OMS/WMS).

Use this when you:

• Set up a new warehouse
• Add new racks/bins
• Want to link SKUs to additional pick locations
• Use temporary overflow locations

Step 1: Go to the Bulk Action

• Log in to afosto.app.
• Open Processes > Bulk Actions.
• Choose: Add warehouse positions.

You will now see a spreadsheet input screen.

Step 2: Select warehouse and business

• Give your bulk action a unique reference.
• Select the warehouse where you want to execute this action.
• Select the business where you want to execute this action.
• Click Next to continue with the bulk action.

Step 3: Paste Your Data into the Spreadsheet

You can copy and paste your data directly from Excel or Google Sheets.

The following columns can be used (* = required):

What Is Required?

SKU* (required)

• The unique product code in Afosto.
• The SKU must exactly match what is in the system.
• Without a valid SKU, no position can be added.

Position* (required)

• The warehouse location where the product is physically stored.

Examples:

• A1-01-03
• PICK-02
• BULK-01

A SKU can have multiple positions.

What Do the Optional Fields Mean?

Limit

This specifies how many units can be stored at this position.

Practical use:

• Pick location has space for 20 units.
• Bulk rack has space for 200 units.

The system can use this for replenishment and internal transfers.

Is Temporary

Use this when the position is temporary, for example:

• Seasonal storage
• Promotion island
• Overflow during busy periods

A temporary position can later be easily cleaned up without affecting your permanent structure.

Step 4: Check Your Input

Always verify:

• Are all SKUs spelled correctly?
• Is every Position entered correctly?
• Are you using consistent naming? (e.g., A1-01-01 vs A01-1)

Step 5: Process the Bulk Action

• Click Execute.
• The system will validate the rows.
• Any errors will be shown per row.
• If successful, the positions become active immediately.

The new positions are now available for:

• Picking
• Replenishment
• Internal transfers
• Inventory registration

Practical Example

Important Notes

·        A SKU can have multiple positions.

·        Limit is optional but strongly recommended for pick locations.

·        Temporary positions are useful during peak periods.

·        The bulk action adds positions — existing positions remain unchanged.
