Cin7 Orderhive assists in the management of inventory movement within a warehouse – be it shipping, receiving, picking and packing, etc. It allows you to manage your inventory efficiently across multiple locations and warehouses, all on a single platform.

- Click on Stock Locations
- Add the locations by clicking on the + sign. Enter the required combination of Address as well Description.

- If a particular location is not pickable (not supposed to be used for directly shipping an order), then you can turn OFF the respective toggle button.
- After entering the address and description, click on Add to save the locations in that particular warehouse.
- In case you want to import a large number of locations for a particular warehouse, you can Import an excel sheet as per the required template which will add locations for that product in bulk.
- Click on Import > Download the template
- Here’s the sample template:
- After editing the excel sheet, click on Import again, browse the updated file or Drag and drop the file & click on Import.

The Barcode button on Locations page will help you generate barcodes for each of your locations which can be used for internal warehouse purposes.
- You’ll receive a notification once the barcodes are ready. Here are some sample generated barcodes:

Create Batches:
- Go to Settings > Products > Batches
- Click on + icon and enter required details and further save the batch.
- In case a specific batch of products have a predetermined expiry date, kindly select that and further you can identify all the expired batches via reports provided in Cin7 Orderhive.

Cin7 Orderhive also enables you to track your inventory on three primary parameters:

Cin7 Orderhive will identify every different combination of values for the above-mentioned parameters, uniquely. As an example, consider the below displayed product. It has in total 45 units in the Warehouse, further break ups of these units are shown as 4 for Location L1, Batch B2 with a buying Cost of 500 and similarly other combinations for 25 and 16 units.
