Managing warehouses

If you are managing a multi-warehouse operation, you can add records for each warehouse that includes a warehouse contact and address. See Adding a warehouse and Editing a warehouse .

Once you have set up your warehouse records, you can view your inventory by a specific warehouse, or across all warehouses. See Viewing the correct warehouse data.

You can also set the reorder point for a specific inventory item by warehouse. See Warehouses in relation to item masters.

The following record types are created and viewed across all warehouses:

Item Masters
Business affiliates, such as Customers and Vendors
Users

This means that if you create an item master or customer, users can view that record regardless which warehouse they have selected.

The following record types are warehouse-specific:

Locations - You must set up locations for each warehouse. See Creating locations.
Purchase Orders - A purchase order created for a warehouse can only be received into that warehouse.
Receipts - You need to have a specific warehouse selected to create a receipt.
Shipments - You need to have a specific warehouse selected to create a shipment.
License Numbers - You need to have a specific warehouse selected to create a license number.

Sales orders can be either created and viewed across all warehouses, or created and viewed in a specific warehouse. The Warehouse field in the sales order header determines in which warehouse(s) sales orders are available. See Creating sales orders.
