## Overview

The Warehouses page provides a central list of warehouse records and the available list layout controls. Warehouse and inventory managers use this page to review Physical Location warehouse entries, locate a warehouse by name, and arrange the list columns for day-to-day operational work.

Use this page when you need to find a warehouse, review its Type, Description, or Branches, or save a preferred list layout for warehouse administration.

## Settings

Before using the warehouse list regularly, set up a layout that shows the information relevant to your role. The available warehouse list columns include **Name**, **Type**, **Description**, and **Branches**.

1. Open **Configurations** > **Warehouse Settings** > **Warehouses**.

2. Select the layout control, such as **Layout icon (icn icn-layoout)**, to manage the current list layout.

3. Choose one of the following layout decisions:
   - Select **Standard Layout** to use the standard warehouse list layout.
   - Select **Add Layout** to create a separate layout for your own warehouse review needs.
   - Use **Columns Chooser** to select the columns to display in the warehouse list.
   - Select **Settings icon (icn icn-settings)** when available to access additional list settings.

4. When creating a layout, enter a clear **Layout name**. Use a name that identifies the purpose of the layout, such as “Warehouse Operations” or “Branch Review.”

5. Select **Save** to keep the new layout. Select **Cancel** if you decide not to keep the changes.

> **Tip:** Create a layout with the columns you use most often. For example, a warehouse manager may need **Name**, **Type**, and **Branches** visible together.

> **Note:** The screen provides list-layout controls. Do not delete a layout unless you are certain it is no longer required by your team.

## Workflow

### Review or locate a warehouse

1. Open **Configurations** > **Warehouse Settings** > **Warehouses**.

2. Review the warehouse list. Each entry can show the warehouse **Name**, **Type**, **Description**, and associated **Branches**.

3. To find a particular warehouse, enter a relevant name, type, description text, or branch value in **Search**.

4. Review the filtered results and identify the warehouse record that matches the operational location or branch you need to review.

> **Tip:** Search using a distinctive part of the warehouse name when several warehouses have similar descriptions or branch assignments.

### Create a separate warehouse-list layout

1. From the Warehouses page, open the layout controls using **Layout icon (icn icn-layoout)**.

2. Select **Add Layout**.

3. Enter a descriptive value in **Layout name**.

4. Use **Columns Chooser** to determine which warehouse information should be displayed in the list.

5. Select **Save** to create the layout.

   - Select **Cancel** if you do not want to create the layout.
   - After saving, use the layout controls to work with the saved list arrangement.

### Update the current layout

1. Open the warehouse list using the layout that you want to revise.

2. Select **Columns Chooser** and adjust the visible warehouse columns as required.

3. Select **Update Current** to save the changes to the active layout.

   - Use this option when the current layout should be revised for ongoing use.
   - If you do not want to change the existing layout, select **Add Layout** instead and save the changes as a separate layout.

4. Select **Save** when the system requests confirmation for the layout changes.

### Keep, reset, or remove a layout

1. Decide whether the current layout should remain in use, return to the standard arrangement, or be removed.

2. Choose the appropriate action:
   - Select **Standard Layout** to work with the standard list arrangement.
   - Select **Update Current** after revising the active layout.
   - Select **Delete Current** to remove the layout currently in use.
   - Select **Delete** when removing a selected layout through the layout management controls.

3. Confirm the result by reviewing the columns displayed in the warehouse list.

> **Warning:** **Delete Current** and **Delete** remove a layout. Use **Standard Layout** when you only need to return to the standard view rather than remove a saved layout.

### Start a new warehouse record

1. From the Warehouses page, select **New** to begin creating a new warehouse record.

2. Complete the warehouse information presented by the new-record view, then save it using the available record action.

3. Return to the warehouse list and use **Search** to confirm that the warehouse is available for review.

The available screen identifies warehouse records by information such as **Name**, **Type**, **Description**, and **Branches**. Ensure that the new record can be distinguished from existing Physical Location entries when reviewing the list.

## Examples

A warehouse manager needs a focused list for reviewing warehouse locations assigned to branches.

1. The manager opens **Configurations** > **Warehouse Settings** > **Warehouses**.

2. In **Search**, the manager enters `October` to locate warehouse records associated with that location.

3. The manager reviews the resulting records using the visible **Name**, **Type**, **Description**, and **Branches** columns.

4. To make future reviews easier, the manager selects **Layout icon (icn icn-layoout)** and then **Add Layout**.

5. In **Layout name**, the manager enters `Branch Warehouse Review`.

6. The manager selects **Columns Chooser** and retains the columns needed to identify warehouse location, type, description, and branch assignment.

7. The manager selects **Save**. The new layout is now available for future warehouse-list reviews.

8. Later, if branch reporting requirements change, the manager updates the visible columns and selects **Update Current** to save the revised layout.

## Tips

> **Tip:** Use **Search** before creating or reviewing a warehouse record to avoid confusion with similarly named warehouse locations.

> **Note:** Use meaningful values in **Layout name** so that other users can recognize the purpose of a saved list layout.

> **Warning:** Select **Delete Current** only when you intend to remove the active saved layout. Use **Standard Layout** if you simply need the default display.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The required warehouse does not appear in the list. | The current list is filtered by a search value. | Clear or change **Search**, then review the warehouse list again. |
| The warehouse details needed for review are not visible. | The current layout does not display the required columns. | Select **Columns Chooser**, add the required columns, and select **Update Current** or **Save**. |
| A layout change is not retained. | The revised layout was not saved or the update was cancelled. | Select **Update Current** for an existing layout, or select **Save** after creating a layout. |
| The wrong list layout is displayed. | A non-standard saved layout is active. | Select **Standard Layout** to return to the standard warehouse-list arrangement. |
