A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used
|
|
|
|
|
|
by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses,
|
|
|
|
|
|
customs, etc. They are usually large plain buildings in industrial areas of
|
|
|
|
|
|
cities, towns, and villages. They mostly have loading docks to load and unload
|
|
|
|
|
|
goods from trucks.

To go to Warehouse, click on Stock and go to Warehouse under Masters. You
|
|
|
|
|
|
could also go to the Setup module and click on Warehouse under Master Data.

In ERPNext, every Warehouse must belong to a specific company, to maintain
|
|
|
|
|
|
company wise stock balance. The Warehouses are saved with their respective
|
|
|
|
|
|
company’s abbreviations. This facilitates in identifying which Warehouse
|
|
|
|
|
|
belongs to which company, at a glance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can include user restrictions for these Warehouses. In case you do not
|
|
|
|
|
|
wish a particular user to operate on a particular Warehouse, you can refrain
|
|
|
|
|
|
the user from accessing that Warehouse.

### Merge Warehouse
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In day to day transactions, duplicate entries are done by mistake, resulting
|
|
|
|
|
|
in duplicate Warehouses. Duplicate records can be merged into a single
|
|
|
|
|
|
Warehouse. From the top bar of the system select the File menu. Select Rename
|
|
|
|
|
|
and Enter the correct Warehouse and check the Merge button. The system will
|
|
|
|
|
|
replace all the links of wrong Warehouse with the correct Warehouse, in all
|
|
|
|
|
|
transactions. Also, the available quantity (actual qty, reserved qty, ordered
|
|
|
|
|
|
qty etc) of all items in the duplicate warehouse will be transferred to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
correct warehouse. Once merging is done, delete the duplicate Warehouse.
|

|
> Note: ERPNext system maintains stock balance for every distinct combination
|
|
|
|
|
|
of Item and Warehouse. Thus you can get stock balance for any specific Item in
|
|
|
|
|
|
a particular Warehouse on any particular date.
