What this is

Storage locations help track where products and commodities are stored across the farm.

Where to find it

InventoryLocations for chemical, fertiliser, fuel and workshop stores. Grain silos, grain sheds, hay sheds and stacks live under InventoryGrain (and Grain & Hay Storage under More).

Add or change a location

Select Add Location, then enter the name, type, farm, capacity and optional map pin. Use Save and add another when adding several tanks, sheds or IBCs. Open an existing location to use Edit location, Place on map or Delete. Place on map lets you tap the farm map; on a phone, you can also use the current location.

Location safety details such as emergency contacts, spill kit, first aid and check reminders are under Safety & access and can be edited later. Phase refuses to delete a location that still holds stock.

Chemical sheds

Chemical shed views can show:

  • Products stored

  • Quantity

  • Active ingredients

  • Label links

  • SDS links

  • QR code

  • Movements

  • Stocktakes

  • Compliance checklist items

Grain silos and hay structures

Silos, grain sheds, hay sheds and stacks are managed in InventoryGrain / Grain & Hay Storage, not as Inventory Locations. Use Locations for chemical sheds, fertiliser stores, fuel tanks and workshop stock.

QR codes

A location QR code is for the storage location. It can help users quickly view what is stored there, including product labels, SDS links, actives and quantities.

Use QR codes for places such as chemical sheds, fuel tanks or fertiliser sheds. A QR code should generally represent the location, not a single product.

Stocktakes

Stocktakes let users quickly confirm stock is correct or edit quantities where needed.

Use a location's Movements tab → Move to another location to transfer stock between locations. Choose the destination and check the quantity: the movement removes it from the source and adds it to the destination. Older movement notes created before destination transfers were supported remain notes and do not change stock.

In InventoryProducts, use the location filter beside search to focus on one shed or store. Product pickers only show compatible location types; for example, a chemical is not offered a grain silo. If an older location shows No farm selected, edit it and choose the farm once.

Common checks

If stock looks wrong, check:

  • Whether stock is split across more than one location

  • Recent stock movements

  • Invoice imports

  • Reconcile deductions from completed work

  • Manual stocktake adjustments

  • The product unit, especially L, kg, t and pack sizes

  • Whether grain and hay are under Inventory → Grain rather than Locations

If labels or SDS links are missing, open the product details and check whether the product is matched to the correct library product.
