Useful info
Warehouses and bins
A location is a record of where you store your stock items.
In Sage 200 you can have two levels of location for your stock:
- Warehouse: A single whole location, such as a building.
- Bin: An area within a particular warehouse, such as a bay, shelf or an aisle.
Note: The terms Warehouse and Bin can be customised, so they might have different names in your Sage 200 company. You can customise these by setting Configurable names in Stock Control Settings (
A Home warehouse is created for you by default. If you don't need to record separate locations for your stock items, just use this for all stock items.
