- **Time savings:** A single scan moves several references in a single operation.
- **Simpler operations:** Fewer handling steps required during stock movements.
- **Fewer errors:** Reduced risk thanks to a limited number of actions.

 

### 2. Prerequisites ✔️:

- Feature available only for **Shippingbo Packs with advanced warehouse (Expert+ Pack).**
- Have multi-product locations.  
  **![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-19-2026-02-15-47-0635-PM.png?width=105&height=191&name=image-png-Mar-19-2026-02-15-47-0635-PM.png)**

 

### 3. How do movements between locations work?

#### 3.1 Default behavior

When receiving products, the number of products can be substantial, which means a temporary location must be used so that the receipt can be processed at a later stage.

If you receive the products into a temporary location, you will therefore need to carry out a location-to-location stock movement to put your products into their corresponding picking location.

**The default behavior** is to perform **one stock movement per product** via the PDA.

However, for any stock movement from one location to another, you must scan the starting location and the destination location.

In other words, if your temporary location contains several different product references, **a stock movement session** is **required for each product reference** (regardless of the quantities of these products).

It is therefore necessary to scan the starting location and the destination location for each product moved.

 

#### 3.2 Optimal configuration

This process can be optimized because, during receiving, the expected receipt can contain a large number of different product references. Systematically scanning the starting and destination locations for each product can be tedious.

To simplify this process, it is therefore recommended to request the activation of the option ***Allow drop-off by product during a full location movement*** from the support team. This option makes it possible, when moving from one location to another, to take all the products in the location into account in the stock movement.

➡️ With this option enabled, **all the products in the location** are **taken into account in the movement** from one location to another.

➡️ So with this option, **it is no longer necessary** to start **a new stock movement session for each product reference**. This means that it is no longer necessary to scan the starting and destination locations for each product, **this scan** only needs to be performed **once**, **regardless of the number of product references moved**.

 

 

### 4. How do you enable the receiving optimization (the location-to-location stock movement feature)?

**4.1** Request activation of the required setting 

This feature requires the option ***Allow drop-off by product during a full location movement*** to be activated by our support team. You can ask them to activate this option [here](https://support.shippingbo.com/?hsLang=fr).

 

**4.2** Allow multi-product on the starting and destination locations

Once the option is enabled in your Shippingbo space, you can check **Multi-Product** in the relevant locations. This allows several products to be placed in the same location, a prerequisite for using this feature:

**4.3** Use the feature via the PDA

Once the received products have been added to the temporary location, proceed with the stock movement on the PDA by clicking on **Stock management**:

![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-19-2026-03-02-09-2428-PM.png?width=279&height=386&name=image-png-Mar-19-2026-03-02-09-2428-PM.png)

Then **Stock Movement**:

A **new button appears** in this menu, the button **Full location**:

![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-19-2026-03-07-40-6402-PM.png?width=279&height=385&name=image-png-Mar-19-2026-03-07-40-6402-PM.png)

You can then scan your temporary location containing all your received products:

![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2-png.png?width=226&height=385&name=2-png.png)

All the products are displayed; you can either select one of the products in the list or click the **new button** that appears: **Drop all**,this button will move all the products to the location that you will then scan only once:

![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3-png.png?width=226&height=385&name=3-png.png)

Once the stock movements have been completed for each product (here, each reference has been assigned to a different location), a summary screen of the action is displayed, and you can click on **Finish**:

### 5. Practical example

**Context**: You are an e-merchant and have just received goods to put into stock. The expected receipt is large, and your activity does not allow you to finalize the receipt immediately.

➡️ You place all the products in the same temporary location.

➡️ Later, you perform a location-to-location stock movement, from your temporary location to your picking locations.

➡️ Thanks to this feature, you can carry out several stock movements in one, without having to scan the starting and destination locations for each product reference.

 

 

 

**⚒️ Recommendation:** 

Before fully using the feature described in this tutorial, we strongly recommend running **a test phase** with your own settings to check that the result matches your expectations. As the customer remains **fully responsible** for the actions carried out in the Shippingbo account, these tests are essential to use the tool with complete peace of mind.
