Warehouses#

A warehouse — referred to as a Godown on the add button — is the physical location where you store stock. This list needs to exist before you can record where stock is kept.

Before you start#

• List every place where stock is physically kept, even if it is a single room in your office.
• Decide on a short, recognisable name for each. The name is what shows in the warehouses list and on the rooms screen.

Add a warehouse#

1. Open Data Entry in the sidebar and click Warehouses.
2. Click Add Godown.
3. Fill in the warehouse name and description.
4. Save.

The new warehouse appears in the list, with counts of rooms and racks shown next to it. You can then add the rooms inside it — see Warehouse rooms.

Find a warehouse#

Use the Search godowns… box at the top of the list. The search narrows the list of warehouses.

Manage rooms#

Each row has a Manage Rooms button that opens the rooms screen for that warehouse.

Edit or remove#

If you have permission to manage warehouses, each row also shows an Edit button and a delete icon. Deleting fails if the warehouse still contains rooms — remove the rooms first. The confirmation reads Delete "name"? and the only action button is Delete.

Common questions#

Why does the button say Add Godown but the page says Warehouses?#

Godown is the local term used in the system. Both refer to the same thing.

How many warehouses can I add?#

There is no fixed limit. Add a separate warehouse for every physical location, however small.
