Warehouse & picking
Warehouses hold your goods, coded locations tell you exactly where, stock movements log every change, and picking turns open orders into parcels.
Warehouses & locations
- 1
Create a warehouse
Warehouse → New warehouse. Only Owner and Admin can create warehouses.
- 2
Add coded locations
Use the bulk location creator with a code system (aisle-shelf-bin). Locations can be renamed; deleting one needs Owner or Admin and requires it to be empty.
- 3
Assign stock
Assign each variant to a location so pick lists print the right bin.
| Concept | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Warehouse | A physical storage site with its own locations. |
| Location code | The address inside the warehouse, e.g. A-03-12. |
| Assignment | Which variant sits in which location and in what quantity. |

Stock movements
Every increase and decrease is logged under Stock movements with source, member and timestamp: sales orders, refund restocks, manual adjustments and imports. The log is append-only and is the first place to look when a quantity looks wrong.

- Each variant carries a SKU and optionally an EAN barcode.
- Generate printable barcode labels from the variant and stick them on bins and products.
- Enable barcode scanning in organization settings to confirm picks by scan instead of by tap.
Picking queue
In the console this area is called Pick & Pack: picking the goods and packing the parcel are one flow. Returned and cancelled orders never appear in the queue.
- 1
Open the queue
Picking lists every shippable order with its location codes, oldest first.
- 2
Pick and confirm
Collect the items, confirm each line (or scan it), and mark missing items explicitly.
- 3
Complete
Completing hands the parcel to shipping; cancelling or undoing needs Supervisor or above. Pick lists handle partial shipments and partial refunds, and older lists remain downloadable.
Note
Picking access is Owner, Admin, Supervisor, Manager, Viewer and Picker. Cancelling a pick list needs Owner, Admin or Supervisor.
Pack verification
After picking, the pack step verifies that every item in the parcel matches the order before the carrier label is created. This catches wrong items, missing units and quantity mismatches at the point where they are still easy to fix.
- 1
Scan each line
Scan the EAN barcode or type the SKU for every line item. CrowPrime checks the scan against the order and marks each line as verified. Lines that do not match are flagged immediately so you can swap or remove the item before labelling.
- 2
Enter weight and dimensions
Weigh the packed parcel and enter the weight plus the package dimensions (length, width, height). S/M/L presets pre-fill common sizes so you only need to confirm. Weight and dimensions are used for carrier rate estimates and label printing.
- 3
Print the packing slip
The packing slip lists every verified item, the buyer address and any gift messages or notes. Attach it to the parcel or include it inside.
- 4
Review carrier estimates
CrowPrime shows estimated shipping costs from your connected carriers based on the entered weight and dimensions. Compare and pick the best option before creating the label.
