# Warehouse and location management

To prevent products or items from getting mixed up, companies prefer to distribute them to their respective warehouses and locations.

## Context:&#x20;

PROBIO, a company specializing in the production of fresh food, is opening two warehouses named Warehouse1 and Warehouse2 to store surplus fruit and vegetables.

To optimize the management of these products, PROBIO has set up two storage locations for each warehouse: FRjaune and FRrouge for warehouse 1, and LGracines and LGtubéreux for warehouse 2, ensuring that fruits and vegetables do not get mixed up.

## Implementation

To begin, click **Stock > Locations > Warehouses**, then click **\[\[New]]**.

Indicate the name and location of your warehouse, the type of warehouse, its temperature, and its surface area.

This will enable you to manage the locations of your goods.

Now that your warehouses have been created, create your locations.

A location is a specific place in a warehouse where stock is stored.

To create a location, click on **Stock > Locations > Locations,** then on **\[\[New]]**.

## Location hierarchy

You can define location levels, such as zones, levels, or aisles, via:

**Stock > Locations > Location Levels.**

<figure><img src="https://3774355255-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzEcRYDc0Yd5qgDsaJt5p%2Fuploads%2F0E1aPd4HwqbwSftmfg43%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=ac5649b8-fb39-4d82-b64f-f22918f5cef3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Next, in **the locations**, you can define the level and the **higher location** to which they are attached.

You can view locations in tree view mode via:

**Stock > Locations > Location hierarchy.**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://doc.simax.fr/documentation-simax-anglais/functional/management-of-stock-and-logistics/warehouse-and-location-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
