Expand/Collapse item  Overview

The default status for a warehouse is active, but you can set the status to either restricted or inactive.

Restricted status is intended for use as a temporary measure, for example, if you are counting inventory in that warehouse. You can set start and end dates to determine when the restricted period begins and ends.

Inactive status is intended for use as a permanent measure. You cannot set a warehouse to Inactive status if it contains inventory or is in use in data entry or maintenance records. A message will let you know if the warehouse is in use.

To change the status for a warehouse

  1. Select Inventory Management Setup menu > Warehouse Code Maintenance.
  2. Select a warehouse. For more information, see Warehouse Code Maintenance - Fields.
