Store parts in bins & shelf locations

Every part can carry a location — a bin, a shelf, an aisle — and it is kept per store, so the same screen protector can sit in a different bin at each shop. The location travels with the part everywhere you look it up.

  1. Open the part

    In Inventory, tap the part to open its detail. You will see one row per store with its stock.

  2. Type the location for that store

    Each store row has a Location box. Type where the part lives and click away — it saves on its own. It holds up to 40 characters, so anything you would write on a label fits.

  3. Use whatever scheme you already use

    Shops organize differently, so the field adapts. By default it is free text: a small shop names the bin after the model — iPhone 14 Pro Max — and drops every part for that model in it.

  4. Warehouse style: row + bin

    If you number your aisles, turn on Settings → Use row + bin (warehouse). The Location field then becomes two boxes — Row and Bin — and saves as R3 · B16. It is off by default and it is per company, so every store uses the same naming. Switching back to free text is one click.

  5. See it while you pick

    Back in Inventory, the location shows right next to the part with a 📍 pin, so whoever walks to the shelf already knows where to go.

  6. Tie the part to a work order

    Open the repair and add the part from Part from your inventory — scan its QR or search it. The unit comes off stock and its cost lands on that repair, so the job's real margin is right. If you do not have it, the same place lets you mark the repair as waiting for part or add it to a purchase order.

Receiving asks where you put it. When you restock a part, the Location field comes prefilled with where it already lives: confirm it, or type the new spot if it moved — the shelf is the one place the person unpacking the box actually knows. Leave it blank and the existing location is kept, so a bulk import with no location column never blanks a part that was already placed.
