They usually have loading docks to load and unload goods from trucks.

Warehouse

In ERPNext, every different company can have a separate Warehouse. Every Warehouse will belong to a specific company. User can get company wise accurate stock balance. The Warehouses are saved with their respective companys 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, if duplicate entries are done by mistake resulting in duplicate Warehouse, these mistakes can be rectified. Duplicate records can be merged into a single Warehouse. Enter the place where you want to keep all the warehouse records. Click on the Merge button. Once this transaction is done, delete the empty Warehouse.

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.
