Warehouse Slotting and Default Locations

Define a default warehouse, create a default storage location, and let AWRA prefill transfer and inventory screens automatically. Keep slotting consistent across every warehouse.

Default warehouse and storage location

Every tenant can define a default warehouse and a default storage location name. AWRA uses these defaults to prefill inventory and transfer screens, so teams do not waste time choosing the same settings over and over.

This is especially helpful for organizations running multiple warehouses, where new users should always start with a predictable location setup.

Per-warehouse defaults that scale

As warehouses grow, each facility can maintain its own default storage location. This keeps new inventory consistent with local slotting standards and avoids the drift that happens when defaults are undefined.

AWRA ensures that the default location exists, and it will auto-create it when needed, so no one gets stuck during intake or transfers.

Slotting discipline without manual effort

Slotting is only effective if teams follow it. Prefilled defaults keep the right location selected, while still allowing overrides when the situation demands it. That balance helps you maintain slotting discipline without slowing down daily operations.

The result is cleaner inventory data, faster replenishment, and less friction between warehouse and finance teams.

When transfers involve multiple items and destinations, see how defaults help in Stock Transfers and Approvals.
