Warehouses

A Warehouse stores Catalog Items used in maintenance and repair of Equipment.

Key Features

  • Warehouses store an inventory of Catalog Items available for Work Orders.

  • A Catalog Item at a specific Warehouse is a Stock Item.

  • Stock Items are located in the Warehouse in _Bins, which are the lowest level of a Row → Section → Level → Bin hierarchy.

  • Stock Items may be located in more than one Bin.

    For example, in a main location or easy access and in an overstock location.

  • An inventory manager can see Planned Stock for insight into what Stock Items need replenishment.

  • Replenish a Stock Item by a Purchase Order from a vendor or by Transfer request from another Warehouse.

Office lookup on Warehouse

A new optional Office lookup is available on the Warehouse object.

Field label:

Office

Field type:

Lookup to Account

Record type restriction:

Only Office record type Accounts can be selected.

Validation:

  • If a user attempts to reference a non‑Office Account (for example, via UI, import, or API), the save is blocked.

  • A clear validation error message indicates that only Office Accounts are allowed.

Existing data:

  • Existing Warehouse records are not modified.

  • The new Office lookup is initially blank and is not required.

This field allows each Warehouse to be explicitly associated with the correct Office Account for reporting, operations, and downstream integrations.
