How To Manage Stock Across Multiple Inventory Locations on Uzanga
Keeping track of stock across your house, shop, warehouse or rental shelf can quickly become confusing. One minute you think you still have products available, the next minute you’re calling your attendant asking: “How many black t-shirts are left at the shop again?” 😭 Thankfully, Uzanga now supports inventory locations, allowing you to record stock per variant per location. This means you can now: Record stock separately for your house, shop, warehouse or shelf Know exactly where your inventory is Reduce stock automatically from the correct location Avoid overselling products Let’s go through how it works.
Step 1: Set Up Your Inventory Locations
First, go to:
Settings → Inventory Locations
Here you can create as many inventory locations as you want.
Examples:
Your house
Your CBD shelf
Your warehouse
Your shop
Pickup points
However, there’s one important rule: one location must be the default location. Although you can have multiple locations, one location must be marked as the default location. This is important because stock reductions during purchases will happen based on location priority.
Step 2: Understand How Stock Is Displayed
On your website, customers will see the total combined stock from all locations.
For example:
10 shoes at your shop
15 shoes at your house
Your website will display:
25 shoes available
This gives customers a better shopping experience while still allowing you to organize inventory internally.
Step 3: Understand Stock Reduction Priority
When a customer places an order, Uzanga needs to know which location stock should reduce from.
The system uses:
The default location
Or the highest priority location
Example:
CBD shelf → Priority 1
House → Priority 2
If a customer buys two items, stock will reduce from the CBD shelf first. Once that stock runs out, the system moves to the next location.
This makes fulfillment much easier and more organized.
Step 4: Add Your Locations
In the tutorial example:
Central Building shelf was set as the default location
The house storeroom was added as a secondary location
You can name locations however you want depending on your business setup.
Step 5: Record Stock Per Product Location
You can now edit an existing product or create a new one.
Inside the product page, you’ll see:
Product stock by location
This allows you to specify exactly how much stock exists at each location.
Example:
Green Dress
CBD shelf → 10 pieces
House → 5 pieces
Total stock:
15 pieces
Step 6: Record Stock Per Variant
Inventory locations also work per variant.
Example:
Handbag Variant A
Shop → 10
House → 6
Handbag Variant B
Shop → 4
House → 2
This gives you much more accurate inventory control, especially if different colors or sizes are stored in different places.
Step 7: See Automatic Stock Reduction In Action
During the tutorial, an order was placed for a handbag variant.
Before purchase:
CBD shelf → 10 units
House → 6 units
After buying 2 units:
CBD shelf stock automatically reduced from 10 → 8
The system also showed exactly which location stock was depleted from.
This helps businesses clearly track inventory movement.
