As a Merchant I would like to be able to create and manage inventory locations so that my warehouses can be used for delivery and inventory management with the correct information assigned to each warehouse.

Business Value: Merchants need the ability to configure warehouses in Magento to match their physical storage locations for inventory. They need to manage data about these locations to uniquely identify each warehouse, understand where they are located and who is responsible for managing them, view how the responsible manager can be contacted, set the shipping vendors are used by each location, and assign types (store/warehouse/3rd party facility) to each location.

Scenarios:

  1. Ability to create, delete, edit data for each warehouse
  2. Set up a different warehouse address (not the same address as the webstore)
  3. Assign contact information for each warehouse
  4. Store location information for each warehouse to be used in shipping decisions (address, latitude/longitude)
  5. Select shipping methods that are valid for each warehouse
  6. Search warehouse by using filters in the grid

Feature list

Must have:

  • manage my warehouse: Create / Edit / Search / Disable/Enable
  • provide general information and contact information per warehouse
  • set up an address for each warehouse: unique to warehouse or general address (same as webstore)
  • enable/disable multiple inventory services as a global option

Should have

  • flag/status to indicate if warehouse is a physical store
  • flag/status to indicate if warehouse is a 3d party warehouse

Acceptance Criteria

  • Possible to create warehouses in admin panel
  • Possible to manage (edit and disable) warehouse information in admin panel (Note: should not be possible to delete a warehouse with inventory assigned)
  • Disabled warehouse can still have inventory assigned but it cannot be used for any orders
  • Possible to hide disabled warehouses from Warehouse grid. Method should depend on UX team opinion, possible options:
    1. Disabled warehouses are hidden by default and can be shown by admin user
    2. Disabled warehouses are shown by default and can be hidden by admin user
    3. Disabled warehouses are shown by default and can be hidden by admin user w/persistent setting (will remain hidden next time grid is opened)
  • Warehouse attributes are Name, ID, Description, Address, [Contact Name, Contact Email, Contact Phone] (user account), Address, Latitude/Longitude, flag/status for physical store, flag/status for 3rd party warehouse, list of enabled shipping methods
  • Warehouse can use global address as address or a different address (entered by admin user)
  • Possible to view warehouses and associated data in grid from admin panel with normal grid options (filter, sort, pagination, column select)
  • Ability to edit warehouses can be assigned/denied in user roles configuration
