Warehouses

In the Odoo Inventory app, a warehouse is a physical space with an address for storing items, such as a storage facility, distribution center, or physical store.

Each database has a pre-configured warehouse with the company's address. Users can set up multiple warehouses, and create stock moves between them.

Configuration

To create or manage warehouses, go to Inventory app ‣ Configuration ‣ Warehouses.

Then, select an existing warehouse, or create a new one by clicking New. Doing so opens the warehouse form, which contains the following fields:

• Warehouse (required field): the full name of the warehouse.

• Short Name (required field): the abbreviated code for the warehouse (maximum five characters). The short name for the default warehouse in Odoo is [WH].
