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. 1

    Create a warehouse

    Warehouse → New warehouse. Only Owner and Admin can create warehouses.

  2. 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. 3

    Assign stock

    Assign each variant to a location so pick lists print the right bin.

Warehouse

Meaning
A physical storage site with its own locations.

Location code

Meaning
The address inside the warehouse, e.g. A-03-12.

Assignment

Meaning
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.

Barcodes & labels

  • 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. 1

    Open the queue

    Picking lists every shippable order with its location codes, oldest first.

  2. 2

    Pick and confirm

    Collect the items, confirm each line (or scan it), and mark missing items explicitly.

  3. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Päckchen S

Typical use
Small items under 2 kg, flat packaging

Päckchen M

Typical use
Medium parcels, 2–5 kg

Paket

Typical use
Standard parcels, 5–31.5 kg

Note

Pack verification is read-only with respect to inventory — no stock is deducted during packing. Stock is consumed when the pick is completed and the label is created.
