What's it for:
Warehouses can be actual buildings where stock is kept, or warehouses could even be each scheduled users “stash” of parts on hand so that inventory out of the store is tracked. How you use part warehouses is up to you.
Specifying exactly where parts are located, is useful to maintain accurate stock counts if you have multiple locations where stock is located
AyaNova comes standard with a warehouse named Default that can not be deleted. But the Default warehouse name and description can be edited to better reflect your warehouse. For example, you might edit the name Default to Store Stock
Notes about Part Warehouses:
Part warehouses can not be deleted once created. As soon the Part Warehouses grid is closed, all parts are undated with an OnHand amount of 0 for the newly created warehouse. Therefore no part warehouses can be deleted once created and the grid closed. You can set a Warehouse to inactive so that when a user logs in, that warehouse is not selectable in workorders, Purchase Orders or Purchase Order Receipts
How to access the Part Warehouses subgrid:
The part warehouse grid is accessed from the SubGrids menu bar
Where selected and used:
| • | Part Warehouse is selected in Purchase Order, Purchase Order Receipts, and Part Adjustments. |
| • | Part Warehouse is also selected within the workorder Parts section - when you select a part, select the warehouse you are taking the part out of. |
| • | Part Warehouse is also selected within the User entry screen if the user is of type Schedulable User. Setting a default part warehouse is beneficial so that when the user is selecting parts in a workorder, it will default to that warehouse so that they user does not have to always remember to select it. |

NOTE: if a schedulable user receives an error “Key not found” when selecting the Parts sub-screen in a workorder, check to see if their default warehouse has been set as inactive. If so, select an active warehouse as their default, and have the user log back into AyaNova.
