Warehouses

A warehouse is a defined inventory location where products and their available quantities are tracked.

In FORGE, it may represent:

• A physical warehouse or branch stockroom.

• A technician’s service truck inventory.

• The location from which inventory parts are issued or received.

Each warehouse belongs to a specific company and business unit. Products can have different quantities available in each warehouse.
