Locations Setup

Locations represent the physical or virtual places where you store and manage your inventory. Properly configuring your locations is essential for stock tracking, order preparation, and shipping logistics.

Locations list in Fenicia — Location management with types and statuses

Location Types

Fenicia supports different location types depending on your operational model:

Type	Description	Example
Warehouse	Storage and distribution center	Main warehouse, distribution center
Store	Physical point of sale	Downtown branch, Polanco store
Online	Virtual location for online sales	Default online store
FBA	Fulfillment by Amazon	Inventory managed by Amazon
Mercado Full	Mercado Libre fulfillment	Inventory in Mercado Libre warehouses

External locations

FBA and Mercado Full location types represent inventory stored by third parties. Fenicia automatically syncs quantities from these services but does not allow manual adjustments.

Creating a Location

Access the locations module

Go to Locations from the main menu and click New location.

Basic information

Define the name, location type, and an optional description to help your team identify it.

Address

Enter the full address including street, neighborhood, city, state, postal code, and country.

Additional configuration

Activate or deactivate the location and define whether it accepts inventory transfers from other locations.

Sub-areas and Zones (Places)

Within each location you can create sub-areas or zones to organize your inventory in greater detail:

Aisles — sections within a warehouse
Shelves — specific storage levels
Zones — themed areas (cold zone, returns zone)
Bins — exact storage positions

Tip

Sub-areas allow you to perform partial inventory counts by zone, speeding up the physical verification process.

Location Status

Each location can be in one of two states:

Status	Effect
Active	Accepts inventory, appears in shipping and transfer operations
Inactive	Does not accept new inventory, does not appear in new operations

Deactivating a location

Before deactivating a location, make sure to transfer all existing inventory to another active location. Inventory in inactive locations is not available for sale.

Locations and Sales Channels

Sales channels connect to specific locations to determine where inventory is deducted when an order is received:

Each channel can have an assigned inventory location
When a product is sold, stock is deducted from the corresponding channel's location
You can configure multiple channels pointing to the same location
