You can setup multiple warehouses and create moves between +warehouses. + +A **Location**, is a specific space within your warehouse. It can be +considered as a sublocation of your warehouse, as a shelf, a floor, an +aisle, etc. Therefore, a location is part of one warehouse only and it +is not possible to link one location to multiple warehouses. You can +configure as much locations as you need under one warehouse. + +There are 3 types of locations: + +- The **Physical Locations** are internal locations that are part of the + warehouses for which you are the owner. They can be the loading and + unloading area of your warehouse, a shelf or a department, etc. + +- The **Partner Locations** are spaces within a customer and/or vendor’s + warehouse. They work the same way as Physical Locations with the only + difference being that you are not the owner of the warehouse. + +- The **Virtual Locations** are places that do not exist, but in which + products can be placed when they are not physically in an inventory yet + (or anymore). They come in handy when you want to place lost products + out of your stock (in the **Inventory loss**), or when you want to take into + account products that are on their way to your warehouse (**Procurements**). + +In Odoo, locations are structured hierarchically. You can structure your +locations as a tree, dependent on a parent-child relationship. This +gives you more detailed levels of analysis of your stock operations and +the organization of your warehouses. + +.. seealso:: + * :doc:`warehouse_creation` + * :doc:`location_creation` diff --git a/inventory/settings/warehouses/location_creation.rst b/inventory/settings/warehouses/location_creation.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..0ca54be70 --- /dev/null +++ b/inventory/settings/warehouses/location_creation.rst @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +============================= +How to create a new location? +============================= \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/inventory/settings/warehouses/warehouse_creation.rst b/inventory/settings/warehouses/warehouse_creation.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..a8e5ea412 --- /dev/null +++ b/inventory/settings/warehouses/warehouse_creation.rst @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +============================== +How to create a new warehouse? +============================== \ No newline at end of file
