Using warehouses

Warehouses are places where goods are stored.

You can optionally divide a warehouse in locations or zones.

Purchased and produced goods, but also goods from other origins, can be stored in warehouses. These goods are retrieved from the warehouse later on for production, sales, service, or transport to another warehouse.

To define warehouses

Warehouses are initially defined in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session. Here you can define addresses for each warehouse and data that relates to its type.

In this session you can, for example, also define:

  • Whether a warehouse is location-controlled.
  • The default location data.

Warehouses are used throughout all the modules of Warehousing.

To register item master data for each warehouse

To get information about item data for each warehouse, you can view or report the item data by warehouse in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) or the Print Warehouse - Items Inventory (whwmd2410m000) session.

The information that you can view or change in these sessions includes, for example, the following:

  • Safety stock
  • Reorder point
  • Forecast method
  • Pricing information

Item data (by warehouse) is used to do the following:

  • Calculate the demand forecast
  • Advise purchase and production orders
  • Maintain purchase and production orders
  • Maintain inventory transactions
