Multi-Location Inventory Management in BUSY

Businesses with multiple shops, warehouses, branches, or godowns need a clear view of stock availability across locations. Managing inventory separately can make it difficult to track stock levels, identify shortages, and transfer goods when required. A centralised inventory system helps businesses maintain better control and make informed stock decisions.

How to Use Multi-Location Inventory in BUSY

Step 1: Enable Multi-Warehouse Inventory

Multi-Warehouse option enabled in BUSY Inventory Settings

Go to Settings > Features/Options > Inventory and enable Multi-Warehouse. You can also enable warehouse selection at the Item Level here. Note that once Item-Level Warehouse is enabled, it cannot be disabled or changed back to voucher-level selection.

You can either keep warehouse selection at the Voucher Level or enable it at the Item Level, depending on how you manage inventory.

Step 2: Create Warehouses

Creating a new warehouse master in BUSY

Go to More > Masters > Warehouse. A Main Store will be available by default. Click the + button to create another warehouse, enter the required details (such as the warehouse name), and click Save.

Step 3: Create Warehouse Group (optional)

Creating a warehouse group in BUSY

If you have multiple warehouses at the same location, you can create Warehouse Groups to organise them together.

Step 4: Create a Voucher

Select the required voucher, such as Sales, Purchase, or Delivery Challan.

Case 1: Warehouse at Voucher Level

Selecting the warehouse at voucher level in BUSY

If Item-Level Warehouse is not enabled:

open the required voucher and enter the voucher details. Then select the required Warehouse and add voucher details. Add the item details and complete the voucher before clicking Save. The selected warehouse will apply to the items entered in that voucher.

Case 2: Warehouse at Item Level

Selecting a different warehouse for each item in a voucher

If different items in the same voucher need to be linked with different warehouses, enable the Item-Level Warehouse option.

Open the required voucher and enter the voucher details. Add an item and select the required warehouse for that item. Repeat this for each item as required. Finally, complete the voucher and click Save.

This option can also be used to manage smaller storage areas, such as individual racks, by creating them as separate warehouses.

Step 5: View Warehouse-Wise Stock

Advanced Filters to select the warehouse range in the Stock Status report

To check stock available across different locations, go to Reports > Stock Status > Stock Status Report and open Advanced Filters. Choose whether you want to view all warehouses, a specific warehouse, or a warehouse group.

Specify the required warehouse or group, then click Apply Filter. The Stock Status Report will display inventory based on the selected warehouse criteria.
