Warehouses and Stock Locations
Warehouses
Warehouses defines the warehouse and interwarehouse move times. Different types of warehouses can be defined
- Normal Warehouse
- Retail Store
- Mobile Warehouse
- Quarantine Warehouse
When a business has multiple warehouses - stock is commonly moved between locations. The duration of transport can be defined in each direction and is used in move orders and stock availability transactions
If the number of Days is Zero - then the warehouse is considered close enough to be used to fulfill sales orders sent to another warehouse. The orders will have separate picklists for each warehouse and a driver may fill up at one warehouse then drive to fill up at the other warehouse to manage deliveries.

- Transit locations are used to track stock moving between warehouses (and is only system created when stock is moving)
