Configure warehouses and inventory settings

Manage your warehouses and control how inventory behaves: the costing method used for valuation, whether negative stock is allowed, low-stock thresholds, and automatic reordering.

Before you start​

  • You need administrator access to change Settings.

Manage warehouses​

  1. Go to Settings and open the warehouses settings.
  2. Use Add warehouse to open the warehouse form; the same form opens when you edit an existing warehouse.
  3. Enter the warehouse details and save.

Configure inventory settings​

  1. Go to Settings > Inventory settings.
  2. Configure:

Settings > Inventory Settings: default warehouse, costing and stock policies.

Tips​

  • Choose your costing method carefully — it drives inventory valuation across the platform.
  • Set low-stock thresholds before you go live so items running low are flagged from day one.
  • Stock is tracked per warehouse, so create all your warehouses before receiving goods. See View stock levels.
