Distribution warehouse structure

Here you will learn how to enable and create system objects related to the warehouse system at the enterprise.

Warehouses are areas for storing inventory. Warehouses are also called warehouse areas. Warehouse areas are common for all companies you account for in the same infobase. In other words, you can keep goods that belong to different companies within a single warehouse.

Wholesale warehouses are used to register wholesale operations and fulfill the internal enterprise demand. When you register retail sales, you cannot select such warehouses.

Warehouses are used in various fields of logistics. For example, in supply logistics and sales (distribution) logistics. In each of these fields, warehouse operations have their own characteristics.

The warehouse structure is created based on the inventory management practice applied at the enterprise. The enterprise can manage distribution warehouses separately or centrally. Centralized management takes more effort to coordinate inventory flows and requires advanced information support.

Once you take all the steps from the instruction, you create an up-to-date structure of enterprise's warehouses.
