Multi-location inventory management
Once a manufacturer operates from more than one site - or one site with multiple stockrooms - single-location stock tracking breaks down. Multi-location inventory management means tracking stock per site and per bin, with movements, takes, and adjustments scoped to the right location.
Why multi-location is hard
Stock that lives in spreadsheets or single-location systems gets reconciled by hand, slowly, and often wrong. Common failure modes: stock at one site shipped from another by mistake; stock takes that do not tie out because two locations are double-counted; transfers that are not recorded so each side disagrees on the master.
What good looks like
Every stock unit is tied to a specific location at all times. Movements between locations are first-class transactions (Stock Transfer) with their own audit trail. Stock takes happen per location, with a clear finish/start state. Adjustments are categorized and require a reason.
How FabHub does it
FabHub models Sites and Locations as a hierarchy. Every item record carries on-hand-by-location. Stock takes, transfers, and adjustments are scoped to a single location with their own audit log. Role-based permissions can restrict who can adjust which location. Multi-location is included on the Pro plan and above.
