Manage Storage Locations

Goal: Create and manage the storage locations on board (lockers, storerooms, compartments), and adjust the quantity of items held in each location.

Before you start

  • You must have permission to manage storage locations. If you don’t see the Create button, ask your fleet administrator.

Create a storage location

Open Storages

  1. From the main navigation, open Stock & Supply.

  2. In the sub-navigation, select Storages.

    The list shows all existing storage locations with their name, description, area, and total number of items held.

  2. Fill in the details:

    AreaNoThe area on board where this storage is located

  3. Click Save.

Result: The new storage location appears in the list and is immediately available for selection when adding or moving stock items.


View and adjust item quantities in a storage

Open the storage detail

  1. From the Storages list, click on a storage location row to expand it.

    A nested view shows all items currently in that storage with their quantity, minimum quantity, part number, and manufacturer.

Adjust a quantity

  1. Click on the quantity field for the item you want to update.
  2. Enter the new quantity.
  3. Press Enter or click outside the field to confirm.

Result: The stock level for that item in that specific storage is updated. The change is reflected immediately in the Inventory list.

Directly adjusting quantities in a storage does not create a movement record. If you need a traceable log of the change (e.g. for audit purposes), use [Record a Stock Movement](/stock-and-supply/inventory/record-a-stock-movement) instead.
