To be able to link a product to a shelf, each shelf in the warehouse must be labeled with a corresponding tag.
This label indicates (both in plain text and encoded in a barcode) the exact location of the shelf (or bin) in the warehouse.
Typically, the location includes:

A label would typically look something like this:
You simply create these storage locations in the WMS, print out the labels, and stick them onto EVERY storage location in your warehouse — whether it's a pallet space or a shelf bin.
Well, it is what it is — you can’t cut words from a good story!
