Because the warehouse is handled as a special type of location, you must specify the same location data that you do for any other location in the system. This frame displays the relevant QAD location fields.

The Description is an optional text description of the location.

The inventory status indicates the status of any inventory that is placed in the dummy location that corresponds to this warehouse. It is strongly recommended that you choose a status that specifies the inventory as unavailable. This status defaults from the Default Warehouse Inventory Status field defined in Warehouse Control (4.1.24).

The Single Item and Single Lot/Reference fields are both automatically set to No. The dummy location—the warehouse—must be allowed to contain multiple items and multiple lot/references.

You can enter values for the other fields, but these do not affect warehouse activity.

For more information on locations, see QAD Master Data User Guide.
