## Before you start

**Prerequisites**

- You have access to the Configuration area.
- The subscription includes the warehouse configuration surface.
- To review the main fields, a warehouse record is available.
- To use the tabs, the warehouse record is saved.
- To add or edit an area, the **Areas** tab is selected and editing is allowed.

The fields and tabs can vary with subscription access, the saved state of the warehouse, and your
editing permission. The address fields appear when an address is selected.

## Find a warehouse

The Warehouses list is the starting point for identifying a configured storage location. The list
uses the headers **Name**, **Type**, **Description**, and **Branches**.

**Prerequisites**

- You can open the Configuration area.
- You know which warehouse information identifies the record you need.

**Steps**

1. Open the **Warehouses** page.
2. Read the **Name**, **Type**, **Description**, and **Branches** columns.
3. Select the row for the warehouse you want to review.
4. Read the warehouse details that open.

**Result:** The selected warehouse details are open.

## Understand the warehouse screen

The warehouse screen combines identity, address, area, inventory-model, modification-history, and
file surfaces. Use the field tables to distinguish required fields from fields whose requiredness
depends on company configuration.

### Warehouse fields

| Field | Type | Requiredness | Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Display Name** | Text | Required | — |
| **Description** | Text | Required | — |
| **Store type** | Select | Required | `Physical`, `Virtual`, `Partner` |
| **Store Admin** | Select | Required | The available responsible users appear in the list. |
| **Destination Title** | Text | Required | — |
| **Country** | Select | Required only where your company configures it | The available countries appear in the list. |
| **State** | Text | Required only where your company configures it | — |
| **City** | Text | Required only where your company configures it | — |
| **Street** | Text | Required only where your company configures it | — |
| **Zip-code** | Text | Required only where your company configures it | — |

The available **Store Admin** and **Country** choices come from the responsible-user and country
lists.

### Areas and related tabs

| If you need to… | Select |
|---|---|
| Review or maintain warehouse areas | **Areas** |
| Review the inventory model | **Inventory Model** |
| Review modification history | **Last Modifications** |

Area maintenance includes **Name** and **Description**. The screen does not present **Short name**,
**Area Admin**, **X position**, **Y position**, or **Z position** as available area fields.

### List and toolbar reference

The icon-only toolbar buttons are titled **Refresh**, **Table Layout**, and **Settings**.

## Review and maintain warehouse details

Use this procedure to review a saved warehouse, move between its related tabs, and open area
maintenance. Use [New warehouse](doc:configuration-warehouse-new) for creation instructions and
[Edit warehouse](doc:configuration-warehouse-edit-record) for the saved-record editing procedure.

**Prerequisites**

- A saved warehouse is open.
- To open an area action, the **Areas** tab is selected.
- To add or edit an area, editing is allowed.

**Steps**

1. Select **Areas** to review the warehouse areas.
2. In the **Areas** tab, select the plus icon above the area list.
3. In the **Areas** tab, select the control in the action column of the area row you want to maintain.
4. Select **Inventory Model** to review the warehouse inventory model.
5. Select **Last Modifications** to review the warehouse modification history.
6. In a popup, select **Save** to save when that popup presents the save action.
7. In a popup, select **Don't Save** to leave without saving when that popup presents the action.
8. In a popup, select **Cancel** to close a cancelable popup.

**Result:** The selected warehouse tab or popup is on screen, or the popup closes according to the
action you selected.

## Handle available surfaces

The available surface depends on the situation you are handling:

| What you are doing | What must be true | What you can select |
|---|---|---|
| Reviewing warehouse fields | The subscription and page are available, and warehouse details exist. | The warehouse fields |
| Reviewing related tabs | The subscription and page are available, and the warehouse is saved. | **Areas**, **Inventory Model**, or **Last Modifications** |
| Adding an area | The warehouse is saved, **Areas** is selected, and editing is allowed. | In the **Areas** tab, select the plus icon above the area list. |
| Editing an area | The warehouse is saved, **Areas** is selected, and editing is allowed. | In the **Areas** tab, select the control in the action column of the area row you want to maintain. |

## When an action does not work

Use the message text you see to choose the response below.

| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| `Your request was completed successfully` | Continue from the saved result or the next available surface. |
| `An error occurred while processing your request` | Review the information and try the action again. |
| `You cannot change or delete records developed by Pams` | Do not try to change or delete that record. |
| `Just '_'‘-''.' And '&' Characters Accepted` | Correct the file name so it uses the accepted characters, then repeat the file action. |

The main list can show the list surface without opening the detail tabs. If a detail action does not
open, use the applicable recovery move:

1. Choose the action that matches your current screen.

   | If you are… | Select |
   |---|---|
   | Outside the list | Return to the **Warehouses** list. |
   | On the **Warehouses** list | Select a warehouse row. |

**Result:** You have read the message and chosen the appropriate response.
