Multi-SKU

Overview

Multi-SKU enables multiple items to be virtually assigned to the same container within the WMS, ensuring a one-to-one match between physical storage and system records. This allows different inventory to share the same pallet or bin while maintaining full visibility and traceability in the system. By consolidating stock into shared containers, warehouses can maximize capacity, eliminate wasted space, and stay fully accurate in how inventory is tracked and managed.

How It Works

Before using Multi-SKU, the feature must be enabled in the shopper SLA settings. Once active, managers can configure it directly in the Inventory Manager by selecting a specific item and opening its container settings. From there, a dedicated menu allows additional inventory to be added into the same container by searching and selecting the items required. Multiple items can be assigned in one step, and once the configuration is saved, the container is flagged as Multi-SKU. From that point forward, any of the items assigned to that container will display the shared container setup, giving full visibility into exactly what stock is stored together at the container level.

Why It Matters

  • Maximizes warehouse capacity by consolidating smaller or slower-moving items into shared containers.

  • Reduces wasted space, which lowers storage costs and extends the life of available capacity.

  • Provides flexibility to adapt storage strategies as inventory mix and demand patterns evolve.

  • Maintains complete traceability in the WMS, ensuring operators always know what inventory is stored together.

  • Delays the need for additional racking or warehouse space by making better use of existing capacity.
