Creating a Warehouse

Overview

The warehouse is typically used for enterprises with multiple locations. This allows for inventory to be received to a central place and then transferred to each store. Typically a single store location will receive their inventory directly to the store and not use a warehouse. 

When you establish a warehouse, you assign it to a venue and a warehouse manager. A warehouse may only be assigned to one venue or region, and a venue or region can only have one warehouses assigned to it.
