StockTrack integrates directly with the WooCommerce order edit screen. This allows you to withdraw stock from a specific warehouse or sub-location when processing orders.
You can find this feature by editing any order in:
WooCommerce → Orders → Edit Order
Enabling StockTrack in the Order Screen
Before you see the StockTrack widget, go to Screen Options (top-right corner of the order page) and enable StockTrack.
Once enabled, the widget appears in the widgets section (as seen below).
Withdrawing Stock From a Location
When an order reduces stock, StockTrack lets you control which location the stock is taken from.
Steps:
- Open the order in the WooCommerce admin.
- Scroll to the StockTrack widget.
- Select the location to withdraw stock from.
- Click Update (or Update Order).
StockTrack then adjusts the Local Stock for each product in the order based on the selected location.
If the Default Location is set in StockTrack settings, it will be pre-selected automatically. You can change it at any time before updating the order.
What Happens After Withdrawal
When you update the order:
- Each product line is marked as local stock updated: yes
- Local stock for the selected location is reduced
- A new entry appears in the Sales / Orders log
- History is updated if the withdrawal changes overall stock
Order adjustments created here behave the same way as manual stock actions everywhere else in StockTrack.
Changing Fulfillment Location Later
If you update an order again and select a different location:
- StockTrack adjusts the values accordingly
- Logs the change in the Sales / Orders tab
- Ensures the final numbers stay correct
Notes
- If an order has multiple products, all items in the order use the same selected location.
- If you need per-line control, you can adjust stock manually in Local Stock after the order is processed.
- Order-based deductions only run when the order is updated, not when it is viewed.
View Orders in the Warehouse Map
Overview
StockTrack for WooCommerce includes a direct link from the order edit screen to the Warehouse Map.
This makes it easy to visually locate all products in an order and understand where they are stored in the warehouse.
Instead of interpreting location codes or checking each product individually, the Warehouse Map gives you an instant visual overview.
What Happens When You Click the Link
When you click View order in Warehouse Map:
- The Warehouse Map opens in a new browser tab
- The map automatically switches to Order mode
- All products in the order are analyzed
- Each product’s storage location is highlighted (blinked) on the map
If an order contains products stored in multiple locations, all relevant locations will be highlighted, making it easy to plan an efficient picking route.
Why This Is Useful
- Quickly understand where order items are stored
- Reduce picking time and walking distance
- Avoid misinterpreting location codes
- Perfect for busy warehouses and new staff
This feature is especially useful during order fulfillment, picking, and packing workflows.
Example Use Case
A warehouse worker opens an order, clicks View order in Warehouse Map, and immediately sees:
- which shelves or zones contain the products
- whether the order requires picking from multiple areas
- how to approach the pick efficiently
No manual searching is required.
