What Is a Sub Location in Warehouse Management?

A sub location is a defined storage point within a larger warehouse location. It allows you to track inventory at a more detailed level instead of managing all stock under a single location.

For example, items can be stored in specific racks, shelves, or bins, making them easier to locate and manage.

Using sub locations improves warehouse operations in multiple ways:
