Warehouse

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". You can create a sub-Warehouse which could be a shelf inside your actual location.

This can become quite a detailed Tree like the following:

Warehouse > Room > Row > Shelf > Bin

To access the Warehouse list, go to:

Home > Stock > Settings > Warehouse

How to create a Warehouse

1. Go to the Warehouse list, click on New.
2. Enter a name for the Warehouse.
