WAREHOUSES

Use this screen to establish warehouses where materials can be received and stored as inventory. When the warehouse is established, you can assign transaction IDs, location structure, and default locations for Receiving for each warehouse. If you did not select the Use Multiple Warehouses checkbox in the Inventory Settings screen, the default warehouse options will be maintained here.
