What are warehouse settings?
warehouse available for shipping
Rules set for each warehouse. Decide what you can do with the inventory in that warehouse.
What it means
The factory has several warehouses and has different uses. There is a place to store materials, a place to store finished products, and a place to store defective products separately.
The system can set rules for each warehouse. For example, toggle “Inventory in this warehouse is available for shipping” on and off. The settings don't change the quantity, they only determine what can be done with that stock.
At the pen factory
I'm trying to ship on the 5th day, but the ballpoint pen doesn't appear on the screen. This is because “Available to Ship” in the finished goods warehouse was turned off. When I turn it on on my office PC, a ballpoint pen appears on the shipping screen.
Why it matters
It would be a serious accident if goods from a defective warehouse were accidentally distributed to customers. By specifying availability for each warehouse, the system prevents such mistakes.
