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.

The terminology of 'Warehouse" in ERPNext is a bit broader though and maybe can be
|
|
|
|
|
|
regarded as "storage locations". For example you can create a sub-Warehouse which
|
|
|
|
|
|
practically is a shelf inside your actual location.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This can become quite a detailed Tree like >Warehouse >Room >Row >Shelf >Box
|
|
|
|
|

To go to Warehouse, click on Stock and go to Warehouse under Setup. You
|
|
|
|
|
|
could also switch to 'Tree' View or simply type warehouse tree in the awsone bar.

In ERPNext, every Warehouse must belong to a specific company, to maintain
|
2017-01-24 05:59:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
company wise stock balance. In order to do so each Warehouse is linked with an
|
|
|
|
|
|
Account in the Chart of Accounts (by default of the the same name as the Warehouse
|
|
|
|
|
|
itself) which captures the monetary equivalent of the goods or materials stored
|
|
|
|
|
|
in that specific warehouse. If you have a more detailed Warehouse Tree as the one
|
|
|
|
|
|
described above most likely it's a good idea to link the sub-locations (>room >row >Shelf, ...)
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the account of the actual Warehouse (the root Warehouse of that Tree) as most
|
|
|
|
|
|
scenarios do not require to account for value of stock items per Shelf or Box.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Warehouses are saved with their respective company’s abbreviations. This facilitates
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

|
> 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.
