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 authorised locations, improving security and reducing errors in inventory operations.

Key features

  • Hidden locations are effectively concealed from general users, ensuring they cannot utilise these locations in operations like transfers or stock moves.
  • Provides controlled access for authorised 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 day-to-day 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 organisation: 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 prevents user mistakes and ensures reliable stock movements.
  • Operational flexibility: Hidden locations can be easily reactivated as required, offering flexible management in line with changing logistical requirements.
  • Access via custom filters: Although hidden from day-to-day 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 the storage locations from the Inventory settings.
  2. Now, go to the specific location that you want to hide and open it. In Additional Information, there is a new option called Hide location.
  3. Once you have ticked the box, the location will be hidden. If you want to view your hidden locations, go back to the locations tree view and use the search filter "Access hidden locations". All hidden locations will then be visible.
