Multi Warehouse

In Augtool we allow you to receive into, deliver from and transfer between multiple warehouses for stock. We do not have a fully fledged warehouse management system that controls rows, shelves, bins and pallets and we do not have warehouse optimisation. We are happy to consult with you if you need something like this and will happily enhance this module to cater for your needs. 

Should you choose not to use multiple warehouses in Augtool, the system will use one warehouse called main to receive and deliver stock from. In this case you will not be able to do stock transfers between warehouses. 

As you can see above, you can create multiple warehouses in each of the business units you transact in. If this is the case, you will be prompted on any document that may use or affect stock which warehouse you are transacting against. If you are creating a sales order for instance, there will be a drop down list on the sales order for a warehouse if you have inserted a Product - Inventory item. Once posted, the sales order will create an OnHold (demand) for the product in the warehouse selected. This is the case for all other documents but it functions in different ways according to the document you are working with. This will be described in the purchasing and sales part of the guide. 

It is very simple to create a warehouse. The complex part of multi warehouse is the use of these warehouses in the quote to cash and procure to pay processes and production. This is covered in those respective sections in the guide. 

Warehouses are used in: Quotes, Sales Orders, Sales Invoices, Delivery notes, Credit notes, Customer returns, Purchase orders, Purchase invoices, Goods Receipts, Supplier returns, Stock Transfers and production if you use Product - Inventory type items. 

Please note, if you use multiple warehouses and have your active costing method set to "weighted average per warehouse" you will notice that the weighted average of your stock per warehouse per item may be different. The stock setup screen of each Product - Inventory item will also have all the warehouses listed as you can see above. 

As you can see above, when creating goods receipts and delivery notes you may choose to receive or fulfil your order from the same warehouse that is on the sales and purchase order or you can choose to route it to another warehouse on receiving or fulfil it from another warehouse. This is described in more detail in the sales and procurement process. 

This is also the case when a production order is created from a sales order and you want to produce from another warehouse and it is also the case when invoicing from purchase and sales orders.
