Overview

The Inventory Location app provides enhanced control over inventory management by allowing administrators to hide specific storage locations. This functionality ensures that users can only access relevant and authorized locations, improving security and reducing errors in inventory operations.

Key features

  • Hidden locations are effectively concealed from general users, ensuring they cannot use these locations in operations like transfers or stock moves.
  • Provides controlled access for authorized users to view and manage hidden locations when necessary, ensuring operational flexibility.
  • Hidden locations will no longer appear in standard inventory operations, maintaining access control.

What is it?

The Inventory Location module offers precise and flexible management of storage locations within your inventory. By hiding inactive or reserved locations, it streamlines the stock management interface, displaying only the relevant areas for daily operations. This helps prevent usage errors or misplacement of products, ensuring that stock movements occur only in valid and accessible locations.


Key benefits:

  • Stock control and organization: A clear and structured list of active locations reduces clutter and simplifies navigation to frequently used areas.
  • Accuracy and error reduction: By hiding inactive or reserved storage zones, the module helps prevent user errors and ensures reliable stock movements.
  • Operational flexibility: Hidden locations can be easily reactivated as needed, providing adaptable management in line with changing logistics requirements.
  • Access via custom filters: Although hidden from everyday operations, locations remain accessible for reporting or audits through specific filters.

This module is ideal for businesses managing complex or large inventories. Compatible with Odoo.sh and On Premise, it is suitable for a wide range of industries.

How does this Odoo app work?

  1. After installing the app, enable storage locations from the Inventory settings.
  2. Now, go to the specific location that you want to hide. Open the location and, under Additional Information, you will see a new option: Hide location.
  3. Once you check the box, the location will be hidden. If you want to review your hidden locations, go back to the list (tree view) of locations and use the search filter "Access hidden locations". All hidden locations will then be visible.
