This guide walks you through how to fix a SKU that isn’t showing up in a warehouse location or assembly order. This usually happens when the SKU has never been assigned to that location or was deleted from it in the past.
Common Trigger
- Missing location for the SKU in the selected warehouse.
- This can happen if the SKU has never been used in that location or if the location association was deleted.
- SKUs without a defined location will not be considered eligible for selection during the assembly process.
Step 1: Check if the SKU Exists in the Location
-
Go to your Warehouse (for example, Test Warehouse).
-
Select the General Location (or the location where the SKU should appear).
-
Search for the SKU:
- If the SKU appears, no further action is needed.
- If it does not appear, continue to the next step.
💡 Tip: If the SKU has never been in this location, it won’t show up anywhere in the warehouse search.
Step 2: Add the Location to the SKU
- Go to SKUs in your system’s main menu.
- Find and select the SKU that’s missing from the location.
- Open the SKU's actions menu (⋮) and select Create Adjustment Entry.
- Add the warehouse location to this SKU.
⚠️ Important: You are not moving any inventory.
This step simply tells the system that the SKU can exist in that location, even if there’s no stock.
Step 3: Confirm the Lot Number
Only applicable if you're product requires lot number, if not you can skip this step 3.
- In the Adjustment Entry screen, check the lot number listed.
- If there’s only one lot number, that’s likely the correct one.
- Add the location to that lot.
- Save your changes.
📝 This links the lot and the location — the SKU now “knows” it can exist in that warehouse.
Step 4: Refresh and Verify
-
Close or exit the Adjustment Entry page.
-
Go back to your Assembly Order.
-
Refresh the page.
-
Search again for your SKU. See that the location slot was already added and updated.
✅ The SKU should now populate correctly in the assembly order or warehouse search.
