How to change or set the Default Pick Location
By default when a product is initially created it won't have a default picking location set, it is advised to have a default picking location for every product. To change or set the Default Pick Location for a product manually, please do the following:
Click Products then Overview.
Find the Product you want to update.
Click Actions then Manage Inventory.
Within the Default Picking Location section, select the new location from the drop-down.
Click Update.
This will transfer any stock from the existing Default Pick Location to the new location. Once a Default Pick Location has been set you can only change to a different location, you can't remove the Default Pick Location and not have one to replace it.
Note: To change the Default Pick Location in bulk, please review our uploading default picking locations in bulk help guide.
Update the Default Pick Location and transfer unassigned stock
When updating the Default Pick Location, it's possible to also transfer any stock held in an Unassigned location as well. To update the Default Pick Location and transfer unassigned stock, please do the following:
Click Products then Overview.
Find the Product you want to update.
Click Actions then Manage Inventory.
Within the Default Picking Location section, select the new location from the drop-down.
Turn ON Transfer Unassigned Stock To New Default Location.
If the product has stock booked in with batch information or best-before dates, this will need to be transferred manually.
Click Update.
This will transfer any stock from the existing Default Pick Location and transfer any Unassigned stock to the new location.
Changing the Default Pick Location will not transfer any stock that is allocated to existing orders or in any location other than the previous Default Pick Location. Stock in any other location would need to be transferred using the transfer inventory function.
