Managing Warehouses

A warehouse is a physical or logical stock location that can sit in a hierarchy and link to a branch, manager, and account.

Build the structure

Create a warehouse, choose its type, and select a parent when building sub-levels. The system generates a unique warehouse code automatically.

  • Available types are main, sub, transit, damaged, and returns.
  • All locations can be viewed as a warehouse tree.

Operations and controls

Assign the location to a branch and manager, add contact details, and decide whether issues may proceed when stock is insufficient.

  • Negative stock is blocked by default.
  • A warehouse can be activated or deactivated.

A warehouse with children cannot be deleted, and deletion retains the record for audit. The location can also link optionally to a general-ledger account.

  • The warehouse code is unique within the company.
  • Branch assignment supports operational location filtering.
