Why
Every shop already has a default warehouse. If you keep stock in several places, add warehouses and link each to a department so sales in that department deduct from it automatically — otherwise the default warehouse is used
How
- 1Open Shop settings › Warehouses (owner only) — the warehouse tagged Default is used whenever no warehouse is chosen
- 2Check the Warehouse quota box (x of y used) — 1 free warehouse plus any you bought; when full, press Buy more warehouses first
- 3Press Add WarehouseAdd warehouse window
- 4Warehouse Name (required): a name staff recognise, e.g. Pharmacy, Procedure room — must not repeat an existing one
- 5Department: the department that uses this warehouse, so its sales deduct from here — one department per warehouse (linked to another warehouse cannot be picked), or No department
- 6Account code: pick one if you send accounting to PEAK, otherwise leave Not Specified
- 7Press Save — the new warehouse appears as Active
Tips
- The default warehouse cannot be switched off. A warehouse marked Over quota · cannot receive can still sell and transfer out, but cannot receive stock until you buy more quota
- Exam rooms only find items that have stock in their department’s warehouse — after linking, transfer stock into it
Done when: Every storage point has a warehouse with the right department
