Setting Up Your Warehouse in WP Racks Plugin #
Understanding the layout of your warehouse is crucial for efficient inventory management. Below are the steps and examples to help you set up your warehouse in the backend of the WP Racks plugin.
Warehouse Layout Example #
Here’s an example of a typical warehouse layout:

This layout includes multiple racks, each with several levels, and designated spaces for loading and unloading.
Configuring Your Warehouse #
In the WP Racks plugin, you can easily configure your warehouse by specifying the number of racks, levels per rack, and the capacity of each level.
Example Configuration #
Below is an example of how to set up your warehouse details:
- Racks: The total number of racks or rows in your warehouse.
- Levels per rack: The number of levels each rack has (e.g., 3 levels for rack 1, 2 levels for rack 2, etc.).
- Capacities: The number of spaces available in each row per level.
For this example in the image:
- Racks: 9
- Levels per rack: 4 levels for each rack
- Capacities: 9 spaces per level
Therefore here is how it should be configured in your settings:

Visual Representation #
Once you have entered the warehouse details, the plugin generates a visual representation of your warehouse layout. This helps in understanding and managing your inventory more effectively.
Each column represents a rack, and each cell within a column represents a level and its capacity. This visual aid is an integral part of managing your warehouse efficiently.

The shaded blocked are used to represent each level on the rack with the darker ones being at the bottom and lighter blocks at the top
