Setting Up Warehouses & Locations

Warehouses

Go to Inventory > Configuration > Warehouses. A default warehouse (WH) is created automatically.

Creating a Warehouse

  1. Click Create.
  2. Warehouse Name - e.g. "Main Warehouse", "East Coast DC", "Returns Center".
  3. Short Name - Abbreviation (e.g. MAIN, EAST, RET). Used in location names.
  4. Address - Physical address of the warehouse.
  5. Company - In multi-company setups.
  6. Routes - Default supply routes for this warehouse.
