Navigating the App
The WMS is a single-page web app with a left-hand sidebar. Everything in this guide is reached from that sidebar, which is organised into sections rather than a drill-down hierarchy — for example, Zones, Aisles and Bins are each their own top-level entry, not pages you open “inside” a warehouse.
Sidebar structure
Section titled “Sidebar structure”| Section | Items | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | Items, Item Warehouse, Quants, Lots | The product catalog, per-warehouse item enrollments, on-hand stock records, and lots/batches |
| Inbound | Inbound Order | Receiving stock |
| Outbound | Outbound Order | Picking and dispatching stock |
| Internal | Transfer Order, Stock Count | Moving stock between bins, and counting/reconciling |
| Locations | Zones, Aisles, Racks, Shelves, Bins | The physical location hierarchy |
| History | Inventory Transactions, Audit Log | The read-only ledger and the user-action audit trail |
| Master Data | Categories, Warehouses | Catalog categories and warehouse setup (admin only) |
| Admin | Users & Roles | Accounts, roles, and permission assignment (admin only) |
A few mappings worth knowing because the label differs from what you might expect:
- Item Warehouse (under Stock) is where you enroll a catalog item into a warehouse — there is no separate “Enroll Item” screen.
- Quants (under Stock) is where you view on-hand stock and make manual stock adjustments — there is no separate “Stock Adjustments” screen.
- Warehouses lives under Master Data, not at the top level.
- Lots is a top-level entry under Stock, not nested inside a warehouse item.
Common actions
Section titled “Common actions”- Create buttons read like ADD NEW INBOUND ORDER, ADD NEW ZONE, or ADD STOCK COUNT — “ADD” (or “ADD NEW”) plus the entity name. The exact wording is inconsistent between screens (some include “NEW”, some don’t), so match on the entity name rather than the precise phrasing.
- Workflow steps appear as row or detail actions: Start Receiving, Receive, Reserve, Complete, Delete, and the Edit (pencil) action.
Two different access controls
Section titled “Two different access controls”The app gates access in two independent ways, and it’s easy to confuse them:
- What the API lets you do — the granular
action:resourcepermissions on your role (see Users and Roles and the Permissions Reference). - What appears in the sidebar — the Master Data and Admin sections are shown only to users whose role name is
adminorsuperadmin. This is a separate check from the permission system: a user could hold the right API permissions yet not see these menu entries because their role isn’t namedadmin.
If someone “has permission” but can’t find a screen, check their role name, not just their permissions.
