# Lay out a location into zones and bins

Name the areas inside a facility and the exact shelves and slots stock lives in, then move stock between them — the totals hold, only where it sits changes.

Warehouse · a play in 3 steps.

## The steps

1. Name the area inside the facility. — [createZone](/reference/zone/createZone/)
2. Name the exact shelf or slot. — [createBin](/reference/bin/createBin/)
3. Move stock between bins or zones — the totals hold. — [relocateStock](/reference/inventory-operations/relocateStock/)
