Custom Holders

Learn how to set up and use Custom Holders in AroFlo Office

Updated on October 9th, 2024

Custom Holders are unique stock locations that are not linked to a user.

For example, you may have a vehicle pool, rather than assigning vehicles to individual staff. Creating a Custom Holder for these vehicles allows staff to choose the vehicle they need when they are allocating stock to a Task or Purchase Order.

Looking for a specific location?

Custom Holders are designed for general storage locations, e.g. ‘Warehouse B’, and are primarily used for Stock Movement and Control. If you need something more specific, e.g. ‘Row 6, Shelf 5’, you may want to use the Identifier field on the Inventory item itself, found when creating and editing inventory items.
