Warehouse Maintenance & bin locations

Warehouses can be used to manage stock in different locations - buying, selling, transfer and write off of stock as examples. System settings determine whether stock holdings are reflected separately in the General Ledger or not - Ledger WarehouseSegNo. The field Warehouse Code is used only for reporting purposes. In-Transit warehouses can be used by Warehouse Transfers, Warehouse Purchase Orders and Supplier Returns. Creating a new Jiwa database automatically creates a Default physical and logical warehouse record.

Bin Locations per warehouse are setup in this form as are Work Centres and Production Areas used by the Bill of Materials module.

1. Inventory   Configuration  Warehouse Maintenance

3. Type in all details for each warehouse. Indicate if an In-Transit warehouse and select a default if more than two in a physical warehouse. Select the region if used
4. Type in Bin Locations by selecting a warehouse and entering in details in the Bin Locations grid. Set a Default for each record. Bin Locations are controlled by Inventory system settings

5. Save the form when completed
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for as many warehouses as needed
