Introduction to Locations
In tSpoonLab, locations are physical areas within a store (for example, a cold room, pantry, or wine cellar) that help you organize products according to their real position.
This structure makes inventory management easier and allows you to perform partial counts by zone while the system automatically calculates the overall total.
For example, within a Beverage Store, you could create locations such as Bar and Cellar. This lets you manage and count each area separately, maintaining visibility over the full store’s stock.
How to Create Locations in tSpoonLab
In this video, we guide you step by step through the process of creating locations inside tSpoonLab.
1. Access the Corresponding Store
Go to the Management section and select Stores from the main menu.
Then, open the store where you want to configure the locations.
2. Add a New Location
Inside the store, go to the Locations tab.
Click on the three dots next to the search bar and select Add Location from the dropdown menu.
3. Assign Name and Description
In the pop-up window, enter a name for your new location (e.g., Cold Room, Bar Area, Freezer 2).
Optionally, add a short description to make identification easier during daily operations.
Add or Remove Products from a Location
Once the location has been created, the next step is to assign the products that are physically stored there.
Inside the store, go to the Locations tab and select the location you want to manage.
Click the three dots icon to open options.
Select Add or Remove Products to open the search view.
Use filters such as family or supplier to quickly find and assign products.
If you need to remove products, simply unassign them from the list — this does not delete them from the store, only detaches them from that specific location.
🟢 Note:
A single product can be assigned to multiple locations at the same time.
This allows for flexible operations and more accurate inventory management by area.
