Two location layers
Shopify locations determine which physical warehouse owns fulfilment and inventory semantics. StoreFulfil internal locations can add area, aisle, shelf, or bin detail underneath that warehouse root. Moving stock between internal locations must never change the Shopify mapping.
Daily use
- Read the mapped Shopify warehouse location before interpreting client inventory or wave work.
- Use an internal area, aisle, shelf, or bin when StoreFulfil shows one unambiguous assignment.
- Treat a blank internal location as valid when the warehouse has not configured a more detailed placement.
- Do not create a child location under a non-warehouse root or move a mapped root that still has assigned stock.
- Follow the current work screen; workers do not change warehouse mappings to represent an internal shelf move.
If the location looks wrong
If The Shopify location owner is wrong or unclear
Stop releasing work and have an Admin correct the mapping.
Owner: Warehouse Admin
If The internal bin is blank
Follow the displayed stop or line; do not invent a bin.
Owner: Warehouse Operator
If The work screen no longer matches the physical assignment
Refresh the live work and report the exact visible conflict.
Owner: Current operator
What this is and when to use it
Use this when a wave or inventory view shows a warehouse location, internal shelf or bin, or station detail.
Follow the displayed location
- Use the mapped warehouse location to identify the owning warehouse.
- If an internal area, aisle, shelf, or bin is shown, follow that assignment.
- If no internal location is shown, ask the Admin or floor lead; do not invent one.
- Workers do not type a station name. Continue from the current work screen.
Questions and hand-off
If The location points to the wrong warehouse
Stop and ask an Admin to correct the mapping.
If A shelf is empty or stock is elsewhere
Report the physical mismatch and use the shortage or inventory process.
If The displayed assignment is no longer current
Refresh the live work and report the conflict rather than moving a warehouse mapping.
What happens next
The worker follows the shown physical location, while Admins keep warehouse mapping and internal placement separate.
