Locator codes and locator slips

To simplify picking and packing orders, you can assign numeric or alphanumeric locator codes to your inventory then print default or custom locator slips from the Inventory Receiving or My Inventory tab.

Description

Note  To learn about Monsoon Marketplace Warehouse locator codes and locator slips, see Monsoon Marketplace Warehouse features.

On the Settings tab under Locator Codes, you can turn on the ability to assign locator codes by selecting the Numeric or Alphanumeric option under Locator Code Style. If you select Numeric, locator codes automatically increment when you receive items on the Inventory Receiving tab.

After you select a style, you can add a locator code to an item on the Inventory Receiving or My Inventory tab.

You can also add multiple locator codes to an item.

Default locator slips

After you select a locator code style, you can manually print or reprint locator slips to a workstation's default printer.

You can also set up your system to automatically print a locator slip when you receive an item.

The default locator slip prints a short list of special tokens which are placeholders for the information found in your system:

When you print a locator slip, the information in your system displays in place of the special token.

Custom locator slips

If you prefer to use a custom locator slip instead of the default one installed on your system, you can create one then add its file path to each Monsoon Marketplace installation you use to print locator slips.
