Adding Company Locations & Warehouses

In this article

Company locations are your shop's addresses. An ordinary location serves as a mailing or billing address, while a warehouse holds stock and fulfills orders. You can choose a warehouse for your shop, a specific customer, or an individual order. To track storage shelves or bins inside a warehouse, use Configuration > Product Locations instead.

Your plan controls how many warehouses you can use. If Set as Warehouse is unavailable because you've reached your limit, review your options in Configuration > Billing > Change Plan. See Managing YoPrint Subscription for changing your plan and reviewing the charges.

Add a company location

  1. On your dashboard, click Settings (or go to Configuration > Settings > Overview), then click + Location under Company Location.

    Add a company location

  2. Enter a Label you will recognize, such as your shop or warehouse name, and fill in the address fields.

    Enter the location name and address

  3. Click Save. The location appears in the list. The Nexus column enables automatic sales tax calculations for that location.

    Save the company location

Set a location as a warehouse

This choice is permanent

Once you set a location as a warehouse, you cannot turn it back into an ordinary company location because inventory, orders, and shipments attach to it. You can still edit its address.

  1. Click the location's More actions menu (three dots).

    Open the location actions

  2. Choose Set as Warehouse.

    Choose Set as Warehouse

  3. Check the location name, then click Set Permanently.

    Confirm the permanent warehouse setting

The Warehouse column now shows a check mark for the location.

Choose your shop's default warehouse

The default warehouse is the starting choice for new quotes and sales orders. A customer's own default warehouse takes priority.

  1. Open the warehouse's More actions menu.

    Open the default warehouse actions

  2. Choose Set as Default Warehouse.

    Set the default warehouse

The Default Warehouse label appears beside its name. Primary Billing Address is a separate setting; a location can have both labels.

Update a location's address

You can edit the existing location when you move, without creating a replacement warehouse.

Company locations are shared across warehouse, purchasing, Ship From, and tax workflows. Saving an address change updates that location for future documents without changing past completed invoices and orders.

  1. Open the location's More actions menu.

    Open the location menu to edit its address

  2. Choose Edit.

    Choose Edit for the location

  3. Update the label or address fields.

    Update the company location address

  4. Click Save.

    Save the corrected address

Set a default warehouse for a customer

  1. Go to Sales > Customers (or click Customers on your dashboard), then double-click the customer's name to open their details drawer.

    Open the customer

  2. Select Finance & Assigned.

    Open the customer finance settings

  3. Click Edit beside Billing & terms.

    Edit the customer billing defaults

  4. Open Default warehouse.

    Open the default warehouse list

  5. Select the warehouse. Choose None to use your shop's default instead.

    Choose the customer default warehouse

  6. Click Save changes.

    Save the customer warehouse preference

Change the warehouse on an order

Draft sales orders appear in the customer's Orders tab until published. Check the warehouse before starting production. Once a job has been committed, you cannot change the order's warehouse.

  1. In the customer's Orders tab, double-click the draft sales order to open it.

    Open the draft sales order

  2. On the draft sales order, click the pencil beside Warehouse in Overview.

    Edit the draft order warehouse

  3. Open the Warehouse list.

    Open the order warehouse selector

  4. Select the warehouse to use for this order.

    Choose another warehouse for this order

  5. Click Save. The order's Warehouse field shows your selection.

    Save the order warehouse

Remove a location you no longer use

Check that you no longer need the location for existing work before removing it. The app lets you delete a warehouse even if it is assigned to customers or set as your default warehouse, so reassign those defaults first. If it is your primary billing address, set another location as the primary billing address first; the primary address has no Remove option.

  1. Return to Configuration > Settings > Overview, then open More actions (three dots) for the location you no longer need.

    Open the unused location menu

  2. Choose Remove.

    Choose Remove for the unused location

  3. Check the location name, then click Remove to confirm permanent removal.

    Confirm removal of the unused location

Removing a warehouse does not change your subscription. If you also need to reduce paid warehouse capacity, review your plan separately in Configuration > Billing. See Managing YoPrint Subscription.
