Use Depot Visualisation to view a visual representation of the storage locations within your warehouse.

The layout can help you quickly identify empty and occupied locations and review the stock held within a particular area of the warehouse.

Before you start

Make sure:

  • The warehouse locations have already been created.
  • The locations use a consistent structure such as Row → Bay → Shelf.
  • You are viewing the correct warehouse or depot.
Important: Depot Visualisation relies on the warehouse locations being set up using a structured naming format.

For example: Row A → Bay 1 → Shelf 1 may be represented as A-1-1.

1. Open Depot Visualisation

Open Depot Visualisation from the warehouse setup and locations area.

Warehouse will display the available rows for the selected depot.

2. Select a warehouse row

Select the row you want to view from the options at the top of the screen.

Warehouse will generate a visual representation of the locations contained within that row.

Note: The visualisation is shown one row at a time. Select a different row whenever you need to view another area of the warehouse.

3. Review the warehouse layout

The visualisation displays the storage locations contained within the selected row.

Use the layout to understand how the bays and shelves are arranged and to identify which locations currently contain stock.

For example, a structured row may contain locations such as:

Location
Structure
A-1-1
Row A, Bay 1, Shelf 1
A-1-2
Row A, Bay 1, Shelf 2
A-2-1
Row A, Bay 2, Shelf 1

4. Understand the colour coding

Locations are colour coded to help you quickly identify whether stock is currently held in them.

Colour
Meaning
Green
The location is empty and currently has no stock.
Grey
The location contains stock. This can include pickable, reserved or expected stock.
Tip: Use the colour coding to quickly identify empty locations when reviewing available warehouse space.

5. View a location

Select an individual location in the visualisation to view more information about it.

This can be useful when you want to investigate a particular shelf or bin after identifying it in the warehouse layout.

What happens next?

Depot Visualisation does not change the stock or warehouse layout itself. It provides a visual way to review the locations that have already been set up in Warehouse.

You can use the information shown to help decide where stock should be stored or whether location changes are required.

Next step:
Use Create and manage warehouse locations if the warehouse structure needs to be changed, or Manage inventory if you need to review or move the stock held in a location.
