Warehouse

The Warehouse module is the foundation of inventory management in AutoCRM. It provides a single source of truth about what you have (products), where it is (warehouses, positions), and how much it's worth (valuation).

Key Features

  • Multi-warehouse support - Manage unlimited storage locations
  • Position-based storage - Precise location tracking (aisles, shelves)
  • Serial number tracking - Trace individual units
  • Inventory valuation - Track cost prices for reporting

How the Warehouse System Works

The module uses a double-entry inventory principle:

  1. Receipt → Goods Receipt creates Warehouse Item
  2. Issue → Goods Issue removes/decrements Warehouse Item
  3. Reservation → Stock can be reserved before issuing
