Quick answer
LaSyncro records warehouse inventory against physical location codes.
Location-level inventory lets you see how much stock is physically recorded at a location and which product variants make up that stock.
Inventory is tied to locations
Warehouse inventory records include a location code.
That means physical stock can be associated with locations such as bins in your warehouse structure.
Floor Planning uses this inventory data to represent occupied warehouse locations.
What location inventory contains
For each occupied location, LaSyncro can determine:
- the location code;
- total on-hand units at that location;
- the product variants stored there;
- the SKU for each variant when available;
- the product title;
- the on-hand quantity for each variant.
The location total is the combined on-hand quantity of the variants recorded there.
Empty locations
The Floor Planning occupancy data contains locations with positive on-hand inventory.
A location with no on-hand stock therefore does not appear as an occupied location in that inventory payload.
This does not mean the warehouse location itself has been deleted.
It means there is currently no positive on-hand inventory recorded there.
Product totals and location totals answer different questions
The Products Catalog helps answer:
How much of this product do I have?
Location inventory helps answer:
Where is that physical stock recorded?
Both views come from LaSyncro's warehouse inventory truth, but they organize that information differently.
Keep location records accurate
Accurate location inventory depends on warehouse movements being recorded against the correct locations.
Receiving, stowing, picking, and other inventory movements should therefore use the physical locations your warehouse team actually works with.
