# Location Import via SFTP

> Create warehouse locations in bulk by uploading a CSV via SFTP, including location type, position coordinates, capacities, and pick/putaway rules.

You can create warehouse locations in bulk by uploading a CSV via SFTP, rather than adding each one by hand. This is ideal when setting up a new warehouse or a large zone.

<Tip>**Template:** <a href="/images/templates/standard_location_import_template.csv" download>standard\_location\_import\_template.csv</a> — download it, fill in your data, and upload it via SFTP.</Tip>

## Key fields

The template includes every available column. The essentials are:

| Field                                        | Purpose                                   |
| -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `Code`                                       | Unique location code                      |
| `Warehouse Code`                             | Warehouse the location belongs to         |
| `Location Type`                              | e.g. `PICK`                               |
| `Zone` / `Aisle` / `Column` / `Row` / `Slot` | Position coordinates                      |
| `Walk Sequence`                              | Pick-walk ordering                        |
| `Check Digit`                                | Optional location check digit             |
| `Allow Putaway` / `Allow Picking`            | Whether the location can be used for each |
| `Active`                                     | Whether the location is in use            |
| `Is Pickface`                                | Whether the location is a pickface        |

Capacity limits (`Max Pallets`, `Max Items`, `Max Weight`, `Max Height`, …) and mixing rules (`Mix Accounts`, `Mix Products`, `Mix Batches`, …) are also in the template — set them as needed.
