Warehouse Roles
What each warehouse is used for.
Early access. Manufacturing can be installed from the App Store, but it is still being proven in real use, so this screen may change.
Overview
Warehouse roles tell Manufacturing which Inventory warehouses are raw-material stores, finished-goods stores, production floor, scrap and so on, so material moves go to the right place.
When to use warehouse roles
- You connect Manufacturing to your warehouses.
