Overview
Regions within a warehouse refer to physical areas or sections that are designated for specific purposes such as storage, packing, shipping, or receiving. These regions or zones can be differentiated based on various factors such as product type, size, weight, or demand. By dividing the warehouse into distinct regions, you can streamline inventory management and improve operational efficiency. This functionality is especially helpful if you want to assign employees to different areas of the warehouse. Creating and managing regions is only possible through the Skustack Admin, while filtering by region can be done through the Skustack app.
Filter by Warehouse Region
Easily manage picking operations by focusing on one region at a time.
Filter Picklists by Region
By utilizing the regions filter in the Picklist tab, you can conveniently organize picklists based on products located in bins within a specific region.
For example, picklist#123 includes an SKU with a Qty To Pick of 50. Among these units, 25 are stored in bins within Region A1, while the remaining 25 are in bins within Region B2. If you apply the filter for Region A1, Skustack will only display 25 units available for picking within the region you have selected.
To apply the regions filter in the Picklist tab, follow these steps:
Set a filter directly from the Picklist module, or from within the picklist itself.
Tap the Filter icon.
Select the region from the dropdown list.
Tap Ok.
Skustack will now display results only for the selected region.
Filter Shipments by Region
To apply the regions filter in the Fulfillment tab, follow these steps:
Set a filter directly from the Fulfillment module, or from within the picklist itself.
Tap the Filter icon.
Select the region from the dropdown list.
Tap Ok.
Skustack will now display results only for the selected region.
