 Inventory management
 ====================
 
+In the Odoo *Inventory* app, :doc:`warehouses <inventory_management/warehouses>` handle the broader
+organization and distribution of stock across different physical sites, while :doc:`locations
+<inventory_management/use_locations>` provide a more detailed breakdown within each warehouse for
+efficient item management.
+
+This document serves as an introduction to the terminology and concepts necessary to master
+*Inventory*. For specific instructions and examples of how things work, refer to individual
+documentation pages.

+
+Warehouses
+==========
+
+:doc:`Warehouses <inventory_management/warehouses>` represent a physical place, with a physical
+address, where a company's items are stored.
+
+Configure :doc:`routes <inventory_management/use_routes>` in a warehouse to control how products
+move to customers, from vendors, within the warehouse, or :doc:`between warehouses
+<inventory_management/resupply_warehouses>`.
+
+Locations
+=========
+
+:doc:`Locations <inventory_management/use_locations>` refer to specific areas within a warehouse,
+such as shelves, floors, or aisles. These are sub-divisions within a warehouse, and are unique to
+that warehouse. Users can create and manage numerous locations within a single warehouse to organize
+inventory more precisely.

+Location types
+--------------
+
+*Location types* in Odoo help categorize and manage where products are, and what actions need to be
+taken with them. By default, on the :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> Locations`
+page, only internal locations are displayed.
+
+To view the seven location types in Odoo, select any location, and in the :guilabel:`Location Type`
+field, there are:
+
+- :guilabel:`Vendor Location`: defines an area where products purchased from vendors originate.
+  Items here are **not** in stock.
+
+- :guilabel:`View`: used to organize and structure the warehouse hierarchy. For example, the view
+  location `WH` (short for warehouse) groups all internal locations, such as `Stock`, receiving
+  docks, quality checkpoints, and packing areas to show they all belong to the same warehouse.
+
+  .. important::
+     View locations should **not** contain products, but it is possible to move them there.
+
+- :guilabel:`Internal Location`: storage locations within the warehouse. Items stored in these
+  locations are accounted for in :doc:`inventory valuation
+  <inventory_valuation/using_inventory_valuation>`.
+
+- :guilabel:`Customer Location`: where sold products are tracked; items here are no longer in stock.
+
+- :guilabel:`Inventory Loss`: counterpart location to consume missing items or create stock,
+  accounting for discrepancies.
+
+  In Odoo, examples of inventory loss locations are *Inventory Adjustment*, used to account for
+  discrepancies during an inventory count, and *Scrap*, which is where damaged goods are sent to
+  account for inventory losses.
+
+   .. example::
+      `Virtual Locations/Inventory Adjustment` is a location with the :guilabel:`Inventory Loss`
+      type. The database shows `65` units in `WH/Stock`, but an inventory check reveals `60`. To
+      correct the quantity, five units are moved from `WH/Stock` to `Virtual Locations/Inventory
+      Adjustment`.
+
+      .. image:: inventory_management/inventory_management/inventory-loss.png
+         :align: center
+         :alt: Product ends up in Virtual Locations/Inventory Adjustment.
+
+- :guilabel:`Production`: where raw materials are consumed, and :doc:`manufactured products
+  <../../manufacturing>` are created.
+
+- :guilabel:`Transit Location`: used for inter-company or inter-warehouse operations to track
+  products shipped between different addresses, such as :ref:`Physical Locations/Inter-warehouse
+  transit <inventory/warehouses_storage/interwarehouse-transit>`.
+
+.. image:: inventory_management/inventory_management/locations.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: List of locations in Odoo.
+
+.. note::
+   In Odoo, location types are color-coded:
+     - **Red**: internal locations
+     - **Blue**: view locations
+     - **Black**: external locations (including inventory loss, vendor, and customer locations).
+
+View locations in Odoo
+----------------------
+
+Odoo databases include pre-configured view locations to organize the hierarchy of locations. These
+provide helpful context, and distinguish between internal and external locations.
+
+- *Physical locations* serve as an umbrella for external locations, without changing a product's
+  inventory value. (Inventory valuation changes occur when products move from internal to external
+  locations).
+
+.. _inventory/warehouses_storage/interwarehouse-transit:
+
+  .. example::
+     When moving products in warehouses `WH` and `WH2`, the items are not in either warehouse, but
+     still belong to the company. While in transit, they are placed in the `Inter-warehouse transit`
+     location, a :guilabel:`Transit Location` type.
+
+     This location is under the view location, `Physical Locations`, indicating that
+     `Inter-warehouse transit` is outside of a warehouse, but still part of the company. Doing so
+     does not affect the inventory valuation of the products.
+
+- *Partner locations* group customer and vendor locations (external locations) together. Transfers
+  to these locations affect inventory valuation.
+- *Virtual locations* are locations that do **not** exist physically, but it is where items that are
+  not in inventory can be placed. These can be items that are no longer in inventory due to loss, or
+  other factors.

-Create a second warehouse
-=========================
-
-In Odoo *Inventory*, a *warehouse* is a physical building or space where items are stored. By
-default, each Odoo database has one warehouse already pre-configured, with the address set as the
-company's address.
-
-However, it is possible to set up multiple additional warehouses, and transfer stored items between
-them.
-
-Configuration
-=============
-
-To create a second warehouse, the *Storage Locations* feature must be enabled. To enable this
-feature, navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> Settings`. Under the
-:guilabel:`Warehouse` section, tick the checkbox next to :guilabel:`Storage Locations`, and
-:guilabel:`Save` changes.

-Manage warehouses and locations
-===============================
-
-Terminology
-===========
-
-Warehouse
----------
-
-In Odoo *Inventory*, a *warehouse* is a physical building or space where items are stored. By
-default, each Odoo database has one warehouse already pre-configured, with the address set as the
-company's address.
-
-Multiple warehouses can be set up in Odoo, and stock moves can be created between warehouses.
-
-.. _inventory/warehouses_storage/difference-warehouse-location:
-
-Location
---------
-
-In Odoo *Inventory*, a *location* is a specific space within a warehouse. This can be a shelf, room,
-aisle, rack, bin, etc. Locations allow for the storage of products in designated areas of the
-warehouse, to help track inventory accurately.
-
-A location is only part of *one* warehouse, and can **not** be linked to multiple warehouses. As
-many locations can be configured as needed under one warehouse.
-
-There are three types of locations in Odoo *Inventory*:
-
-- **Physical Locations**: internal locations within a single warehouse owned by the company. This
-  can include shipping and loading docks, aisles, shelves, storage areas, and more.
-- **Partner Locations**: external locations, such as designated spaces in a customer or vendor's
-  warehouse. They are similar to physical locations, but they are **not** owned by the user's
-  company.
-- **Virtual Locations**: this type of location does not exist as a physical space, but products can
-  be "stored" here when they are not physically in an inventory yet. *Inventory Loss* and
-  *Procurements* are examples of virtual locations, for products that are lost or in transit to the
-  warehouse.
-
-Every location within a warehouse can serve as a parent location, and every parent location can have
-multiple locations within it, allowing for the creation of a hierarchical structure. This allows for
-more detailed levels of analysis of the stock operations and the organization of the warehouses.
-
-Configuration
-=============
-
-For companies with one warehouse, no additional settings are required to activate before editing the
-warehouse.
-
-For companies with multiple warehouses, and to create locations within a warehouse, the *Storage
-Locations* feature must be enabled.
-
-To do so, navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> Settings`, and scroll down
-to the :guilabel:`Warehouse` section. Tick the :guilabel:`Storage Locations` checkbox to enable the
-feature, and click :guilabel:`Save`.
-
-.. image:: warehouses_locations/warehouses-locations-enabled-setting.png

-   :alt: Storage Locations feature enabled in the Inventory app settings.
-
-.. tip::
-   To manage warehouse *routes*, such as two-and-three-step receipts and deliveries, enable the
-   *Multi-Step Routes* feature from the *Inventory* app settings, as well. For more on routes, see
-   :doc:`use_routes`.
-
-Create a new warehouse
-======================
-
-To create a new warehouse, navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration -->
-Warehouses`, and click :guilabel:`New`. Doing so opens a blank warehouse creation form.
-
-Begin by assigning a :guilabel:`Warehouse Name`, and a :guilabel:`Short Name`. The :guilabel:`Short
-Name` field is limited to a **five** character maximum.
-
-.. image:: warehouses_locations/warehouses-locations-new-warehouse.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: New warehouse creation form name configuration fields.
-
-.. important::
-   The :guilabel:`Short Name` appears on transfer orders and other warehouse documents. Odoo
-   recommends using an understandable one like `WH/[first letters of location]`.
-
-   For example, a warehouse named `Warehouse #2` might have the :guilabel:`Short Name` `WH2` (the
-   short name for the default warehouse in Odoo is `WH`).
-
-Once the warehouse is created, navigate back to the :menuselection:`Inventory` dashboard. New
-operations for the newly created warehouse are automatically generated there.
-
-For more on creating new warehouses, see :doc:`create_a_second_warehouse`.

-
-.. note::
-   Creating a second warehouse without first enabling the *Storage Locations* feature triggers a
-   :guilabel:`Warning` pop-up window. It indicates creating a second warehouse automatically
-   activates the *Storage Locations* setting.
-
-Create a new location
-=====================
-
-To create a new location inside a warehouse, navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory app -->
-Configuration --> Locations`. Doing so opens a list of all existing locations. Click :guilabel:`New`
-to open a new location creation form.
-
-In the :guilabel:`Location Name` field, assign a name for the new location. In the :guilabel:`Parent
-Location` field, assign the location that this new location exists in.
-
-For more on locations, see :doc:`use_locations`.
