How to add a Storage Location to an Item for Invoicing and Pickup

Many companies place items in organized systems so employees or customers can easily find specific items during pickup. Storage Location is an item-level field that can be displayed on customer invoices for the purpose of helping with that pickup process. This guide will show you how to configure this field per-item, as well as enable this field on customer invoices:

Adding Storage Location to Items

Storage location can be assigned to items individually via the BW Catalog App or the Admin Portal via Item Settings. They can also be added to lots in bulk via an Items Import.

You will find Storage Location as one of the available fields when creating or editing lots via the BW Catalog App:

Storage Location can be added via item settings in the Admin Portal. First, locate the item and click the pencil to edit, then scroll down to "Suggested Fields" and you'll see a field for "Storage Location." Enter text here, then scroll to the bottom and click "Save:"

Storage location can also be added to many lots at once via an Items Import. Simply add this column name to your spreadsheet and fill out this field per item like all other fields, then map it accordingly when running the Items Import.

Adding Storage Location to Invoices

Storage Location is a setting that can be enabled for an auction via the invoice settings assigned to that auction's settings. Learn more about Invoice Settings here.

To begin, log in to the Admin Portal andclick "Invoice Settings" under the Invoicing category. Click on the pencil for any pre-existing settings or create new settings via"Create."

Storage Location can be enabled by checking the box for "show item storage location." Add any other settings you need for this auction, then save. If you are editing pre-existing invoice settings for current invoices, you will be asked to confirm and this setting will only apply to unlocked invoices. Unlock any locked invoices in order to apply this update. If these are new settings and/or need to be added to the auction, navigate to the appropriate auction's settings {edit screen} and add the settings via the Invoice Settings dropdown:

You should find the Storage Location field has been added to unlocked invoices:
