## Overview

Use Warehouse records to maintain warehouse location and administration details in the application. Warehouse and inventory managers use these records when establishing or updating a warehouse, while purchasing, sales, project, and finance users may rely on the recorded warehouse information during operational work. Create a record when a new warehouse location must be recorded, or revise an existing record when its description, administrator, or address changes.

## Workflow

1. Open the **Warehouse** application and select **Warehouses** to view warehouse records. Create a new warehouse record.

2. Identify the warehouse.
   - Enter a clear **Display Name** for the warehouse.
   - Enter a **Description** to distinguish the location from other warehouses.
   - Select the applicable **Store type**.
   - Set the **Store Admin** for the warehouse.
   - Complete **Shotec S.A.E** where applicable.

   > **Tip:** Use a consistent naming convention for warehouse display names so that users can distinguish locations easily.

3. Record the warehouse destination and address details.
   - Enter the **Destination Title**.
   - Complete **Country**, **State**, **City**, **Street**, and **Zip-code** as appropriate for the warehouse location.

4. Decide whether supporting documentation is needed.
   - To add a file, use **Attach** or drag the file to **or Drop a file here**.
   - Use **Select** to choose a file when prompted.
   - Select **Ok** to confirm the attachment action.

   > **Note:** Attach documents that help users identify or administer the warehouse, such as location information or operational documentation.

5. Decide how to finish the record.
   - Select **Save** to save the warehouse and remain on the record.
   - Select **Save and Close** to save the warehouse and return to the warehouse list.

6. When warehouse details change, open the existing record from **Warehouses**, revise the relevant fields, and select **Save** or **Save and Close**.

## Examples

Create a warehouse for a regional storage location:

1. Open **Warehouse** and select **Warehouses**. Create a new record.
2. Enter **Display Name** as `Cairo Central Warehouse`.
3. Enter **Description** as `Main storage location for Cairo sales and project deliveries`.
4. Select the appropriate **Store type** and assign the responsible user in **Store Admin**.
5. Enter **Destination Title** as `Cairo Central Warehouse Receiving`.
6. Complete the address:
   - **Country:** Egypt
   - **State:** Cairo Governorate
   - **City:** Cairo
   - **Street:** 15 Industrial Zone Road
   - **Zip-code:** 11511
7. Use **Attach** to add a warehouse location document, if available.
8. Select **Save and Close**. The warehouse record is saved and you return to the warehouse list.

## Tips

> **Tip:** Keep the **Display Name** concise and location-specific, especially when the company operates multiple warehouses.

> **Note:** Review the **Store Admin** whenever warehouse responsibility changes.

> **Warning:** Save address changes promptly so warehouse users work from current location details.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The warehouse name does not clearly identify the location. | The **Display Name** is too general or similar to another warehouse. | Open the record, revise **Display Name** and **Description**, then select **Save**. |
| The warehouse location details are incomplete. | One or more destination or address fields were not entered. | Complete **Destination Title**, **Country**, **State**, **City**, **Street**, or **Zip-code** as needed, then save the record. |
| A supporting file is not attached to the warehouse. | The file was not selected or confirmed. | Select **Attach**, use **Select** to choose the file, confirm with **Ok**, and save the warehouse record. |
