In Ply, each material location can include position labels: Aisle, Bay, Level, and Bin (A/B/L/B), to help organize warehouse layouts. These labels are optional and can be used if your team needs to track detailed storage positions.
If your team prefers simpler numeric labels, the Hide Location Prefixes setting lets you choose how location names are displayed — either with prefixes (e.g., A12) or just numbers (e.g., 12).
How It Works
- When enabled: location names include their prefixes (e.g., A12).
- When disabled: prefixes are hidden, and only numeric labels are shown (e.g., 12).
- This setting only changes how labels appear, it doesn’t affect your internal data, IDs, or warehouse structure.
How to Turn Prefixes On or Off
- Go to Settings → Stock.
- Find the toggle labeled Show location prefixes.
- Switch it OFF to hide A/B/L/B prefixes, or ON to show them again.
When to Use It
Use this setting if:
- Your team doesn’t use detailed Aisle/Bay/Level/Bin tracking and prefers simple numeric labels.
- You want cleaner printed or mobile labels for your locations.
- You’re standardizing location formats across multiple warehouses.
Notes
- This change affects display only, it doesn’t modify historical records or linked workflows.
- You can toggle prefixes on or off anytime, depending on how your team prefers to view locations.
