How Yessort models your warehouse
Yessort splits your physical stock into two levels: the building, and the spot inside it. Understanding this split makes every other inventory concept — locations, transfers, Shopify sync — click into place.
Location types and behaviour
Every location has a type and two behaviour flags that decide how stock flows through it. See How Yessort models your warehouse for the basics on sites and locations before reading on.
Stock quantities and lots
Yessort tracks more than a single "how many do we have" number. This page explains how on-hand splits into buckets, what that means for what you can sell, how stock status is derived, and how lots work.
Reading a variant's stock
Under Inventory → Variants, each variant has a page answering the question people ask most often: how much have we got, and where is it?
The stock movement record
Every physical change to how much stock you hold is recorded, with a type saying what kind of change it was.
Lots and traceability
A lot is a traceable batch of one variant — a particular production run or a particular delivery, kept identifiable after it has gone into stock.
