 +===== Managing stock in locations =====
 +
 +mSupply allows stock in locations to be managed according to the //volume// of stock in those locations provided that:
 +  * [[items:item_locations#total_volume|Volumes of locations]] have been defined
 +  * //All// stock has volumes assigned to it.  Volumes can be assigned:
 +    * [[purchasing:ordering_from_suppliers#volume_per_pack|When the Purchase Order was created]]
 +    * [[receiving_goods:goods_receipts#goods_receipt_line_entry|When entering the Goods Receipt]]
 +    * [[receiving_goods:supplier_invoices#adding_new_lines_to_a_supplier_invoice|When entering the Supplier Invoice]]
 +    * At any other time by [[items:showing_batches#editing_stock_lines|editing the stock line]]
 +
 +Whenever stock is being allocated to a location, mSupply allows the user to identify those locations that are either completely empty, or where there is volume available for the selected stock line:
 +
 +{{ :receiving_goods:gr_choose_location.png?550 |}}
 +
 +The **Show empty** radio button is selected here. This is appropriate when trying to find a location for a whole pallet of stock, as pallets can only go in empty locations.
 +
 +The **Show available** radio button shows locations that have enough spare capacity to take the volume of the line we are allocating.
