Warehouse Table

To manage the inventories, you must firstly define the warehouses in which items can be stocked. In most plants, a company does not stock raw material and finished goods in the same warehouse.

Every warehouse where products can be stored has to be defined in the warehouse table.

The warehouse WH is automatically created.

A warehouse code must be defined for each item (except for the Phantom, Family and Resource Item types).

The warehouse must be indicated for every inventory transaction.

 The Not available for MRP checkbox indicates that the inventory in the warehouse will not be taken into account in the Materials Requirements Planning procedure.

 The Number of Cells field specifies the number of pallets the warehouse can accommodate. This capacity can be compared to the number of pallets stored in the warehouse or required due to production planning. The required number of pallets is calculated from the Quantity per pallet field on the Item Maintenance window.

 The Warehouse Cost Center enables one to record the cost center associated to the inventory transactions.
