The first step toward seamless fulfillment on Uphance is ensuring that your inventory and warehouses are properly configured to fulfill your orders. With Uphance, you can proactively configure your default warehouse from where orders should be fulfilled. You can also assign manufacturers to different warehouses where necessary.

Warehouse Configurations

To configure your inventory and warehouses, navigate to Settings >> Warehouse Management. Here, you can add a new warehouse or modify the existing ones you have.

You can also set a particular warehouse as your default warehouse as illustrated below. When you do, orders will be fulfilled from that warehouse by default until all the items in it get exhausted.

Adding Zones to Your Warehouse

Adding zones to your warehouse allows you to seamlessly perform zone picking. Uphance allows you to add as many zones as you want with just a few taps of the button.

To add one, select the warehouse you would like to add the zones to, and then follow the steps illustrated below. You can always edit the added zones and even delete them if you want.

Adding/Uploading Bins To Your Warehouse

Would you like to add bins to your warehouse? First, select the warehouse you would like to add the bins by navigating to Settings >> Warehouse Management. Then follow the steps illustrated below:

You can always edit the bin details by directly clicking the field you would like to edit:

Uploading Bins

What if you have existing pre-configured bins you would like to upload instead of creating from scratch? Uphance allows you to do that - meaning you can upload bins as CSV/Excel.

To do so, first, download the file template by clicking the Actions button.

This is what the downloaded file will look like:

Populate the file with your bin information based on the column heading. Once you've done that, upload the file again.

And like that, you've successfully uploaded your bins to Uphance.

Setting Priority for Your Warehouses

Let's say you have 4 warehouses: A, B, C, and D. Due to business needs, you want to start picking orders for fulfillment from A and then progress to B, C, and D (in that sequence) once A gets emptied. How would you do that?

The simplest way is to set up a priority rule for your warehouse simply by arranging them in your intended order. The warehouse at the topmost takes priority 1, the last takes the least.

Assigning Manufacturers to Warehouses

To assign a manufacturer to a warehouse, click the edit icon next to it, and assign a manufacturer like so:

Assigning a Warehouse to a Sales Channels

Uphance also allows you to assign warehouses to your sales channels. To do so, navigate to Settings >> Channels and Currencies. Select the channel you would like to assign a warehouse to and complete the process as illustrated below:
