The warehouse is a 10-character alphanumeric field. Although you can use special characters such as /, *, + this is not recommended.
The warehouse code ** is reserved for use by the system to represent a non-stocked warehouse.
Once you have decided on the coding structure of your warehouses you need to consider the costing method you want to use. SYSPRO caters for different costing methods per warehouse (i.e. average, standard, last cost and FIFO).
You will be unable to delete a warehouse if any of the following conditions apply:
the quantity dispatched but not invoiced is not zero
the quantity in the previous 2 periods is not zero
the month-to-date quantity received is not zero
the month-to-date quantity adjusted is not zero
the month-to-date quantity transferred is not zero
build schedules exist in the warehouse
If you delete a warehouse in which an item is stocked, then all movement records for the warehouse are removed.
Stock on hand cannot be allowed to go negative in any warehouse. However, items defined as floorstock (Stock Code Maintenance) can have a negative balance (WIP Issue Floor Stock Allocations).
Inventory costs cannot be held in a unit of measure other than stocked.
The Last cost is updated by the following programs:
Transfer BOM Costs to Wh Costs
All cost transactions regardless of costing method and part type.
Purchase Order Receipts, Purchase Order Inspection, Job Receipts and Shipment Receipt
All cost change transactions.
