Use warehouses as stock locations

A warehouse is an inventory location for goods that are stored, purchased, produced or transferred. Use a selling branch for customer orders and a warehouse for a separate stock location.

Add a warehouse

1. Open Inventory › More › Warehouses.
2. Create a record with a clear name and code.
3. Save it and check that it is available to the staff responsible for its stock.
4. Select that location when creating the relevant purchasing, transfer, production or count document.
5. Review its quantities using the location filters in inventory reports.

Move stock correctly

Sending goods from a warehouse to a branch requires a transfer. Stock leaves the source when sent, and only received quantities enter the destination. Simply creating a warehouse does not put stock into it.

Location access follows the user's assigned scope. An inactive or deleted location is excluded from new choices, while historical reports can retain its past movements.

Review existing stock and open work before deactivating a warehouse; do not use deactivation to hide a balance.
