Each Organisation unit / Shop has a warehouse

Warehouses are designed for physical locations from which you can deliver to the customer, and to which you receive raw materials. When you buy products from a supplier, you should take account of the Warehouse you use for this purchase. This also enables the end user to not have to choose from a list of locations, but simply a real warehouse. Use the menu Stock Move Tool ‣ Configuration ‣ Warehouses, then click Create to configure a new warehouse.

A warehouse is defined by a link between six locations:

  • The Location Stock field shows the place of products available for delivery to a customer directly from this warehouse. Availability is given by all the products in that location and any child locations.
  • The Location Input field shows where ordered products are received from a supplier in that warehouse. It can be the same as the stock location if, for example, you want to do a quality control operation on your incoming raw materials.
  • The Location Output field (called Output in the demonstration database) is designed as a buffer zone in which you store all the items that have been picked, but not yet delivered to a customer. You are strongly advised not to put this location within the stock hierarchy but instead at a higher level or at the same level.
  • The Location Refurbish: This location is used for repossessed products
  • Location Disposal/Lost: This location is used for Lost or not repossessed products
  • : This location is used to dissemble supply sets when sending to a customer
