EasyBiz has two kinds of places for your physical work. Storage Sections are where things are kept, like a backroom or a pickup shelf, divided into racks such as R1 and R2. Production Centers are where work is done, like a laundry plant or a repair workshop. You set up both in ⚙️ Settings, under Production settings.
The Two Kinds of Places
| Settings card | What it is | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Storage Sections | A storage area in your shop, divided into Racks (shelves, bins or rails) | You want staff to know exactly where orders, items, totes or packages are kept, and to scan them in and out of a rack |
| Production Centers | A place where work is processed, such as a laundry plant or repair workshop | Orders need to go to a team or workshop, or you keep retail stock there |
The main difference is purpose. A storage section answers "Where is this kept?" A production center answers "Where is this work done?"
Where to Find Them
Click the ⚙️ Settings icon in the top-right corner.
Under the Production settings section, click Storage Sections or Production Centers.
If you used the old Console, the Locations page with its Inventories and Production Centers tabs is now these two cards. What it called an "inventory" is now a storage section, and what it called a "storage section" is now a rack.
How They Relate to Retail Stock
Retail stock on the Inventory page (Logistic › Inventory) is counted at your shops and your production centers. Storage sections and racks do not hold stock counts and do not change what the POS sells. See Introduction to Inventory Stock.
FAQs
Do I need storage sections before going live?
No. If your team does not keep track of which rack an order sits on, you can start without them. Add them when you want clearer storage control.
Will adding a storage section change my POS screen?
No. Storage sections are storage settings. Stock counts on the Inventory page use your shops and production centers.
Can I track stock without a production center?
Yes. Stock can be counted at your shop. Add a production center when stock also sits at a workshop or plant.
Do production centers affect where orders go?
Yes, but only when you give them Fixed Assignments. See Managing Production Centers.
