+========================
+Closest location removal
+========================
+
+For the *Closest Location* removal strategy, products are picked based on the alphanumeric order of
+storage location titles.
+
+The goal of this strategy is to save the warehouse worker from taking a long journey to a farther
+shelf when the product is also available at a closer location.
+
+.. seealso::
+   :doc:`Other removal strategies <removal>`
+
+.. _inventory/warehouses_storage/sequence:
+
+To understand *location sequence* in the closest removal strategy, consider the following example:
+
+.. example::
+   A product is stored in the following locations: `Shelf A/Pallet`, `Shelf A/Rack 1`, and `Shelf
+   A/Rack 2`.
+
+   .. image:: closest_location/locations.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: Show a mockup of real storage location in a warehouse.
+
+   The sublocation, `Pallet`, is on the ground level. Products stored here are easier to retrieve,
+   compared to requiring a forklift to reach `Rack 1` and `Rack 2`. The storage locations were
+   strategically named in alphabetic order, based on ease of access.
+
+.. important::
+   To use this removal strategy, the :guilabel:`Storage Locations` and :guilabel:`Multi-Step Routes`
+   settings **must** be enabled in :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> Settings`.
+
+.. seealso::
+   :ref:`Set up removal strategy <inventory/warehouses_storage/removal-config>`
+
+.. _inventory/warehouses_storage/location-name:
+
+Location names
+==============
+
+To configure location names, begin by navigating to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration
+--> Locations`. Then, select an existing location, or click :guilabel:`New` to create a new one, and
+then enter the desired name in the :guilabel:`Location Name` field.
+
+Once the locations are named in alphabetical order, based on their proximity to the output or
+packing location, set the removal strategy on the :ref:`parent location
+<inventory/location-hierarchy>`.
+
+To do that, in the :guilabel:`Locations` list, select the parent location of the alphabetically
+named storage locations.
+
+Doing so opens the form for the parent location. In the :guilabel:`Removal Strategy` field, select
+:guilabel:`Closest Location`.
+
+.. example::
+   In a warehouse, the storage location `WH/Stock/Shelf 1` is located closest to the packing area,
+   where products retrieved from shelves are packed for shipment. The popular product, `iPhone
+   charger` is stored in three locations, `WH/Stock/Shelf 1`, `WH/Stock/Shelf 2`, and
+   `WH/Stock/Shelf 3`.
+
+   To use closest location, set the removal strategy on the parent location, 'WH/Stock'.
+
+Workflow
+========
+
+To see how the closest location removal strategy works, consider the following example, featuring
+the popular product, `iPhone charger`, which is stored in `WH/Stock/Shelf 1`, `WH/Stock/Shelf 2`,
+and `WH/Stock/Shelf 3`.
+
+Fifteen, five, and thirty units are in stock at each respective location.
+
+.. tip::
+   To check the on-hand stock at each storage location, navigate to the product form, and click the
+   :guilabel:`On Hand` smart button.
+
+   .. image:: closest_location/on-hand-stock.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: Show on-hand stock at all locations.
+
+Create a :ref:`delivery order <inventory/delivery/one-step>` for eighteen units of the `iPhone
+charger` by navigating to the :menuselection:`Sales app` and creating a new quotation.
+
+After adding the products, clicking :guilabel:`Confirm` creates a delivery order that reserves items
+stored at the closest location, using the removal strategy.
+
+For more details about *where* the units were picked, select the :guilabel:`⦙≣ (bulleted list)`
+icon, located on the far-right. Doing so opens the :guilabel:`Open: Stock move` pop-up window that
+displays how the reserved items were picked, according to the removal strategy.
+
+In the :guilabel:`Open: Stock move` pop-up window, the :guilabel:`Pick from` field displays where
+the quantities to fulfill the :guilabel:`Demand` are picked. All fifteen of the units stored at the
+closest location, `WH/Stock/Shelf 1`, are picked first. The remaining three units are then selected
+from the second closest location, `WH/Stock/Shelf 2`.
