A warehouse is just an abstraction that does not necessarily relate to a real or physical material storage location. Choose a name for your warehouse that is easy to identify.

Different types of warehouses can be defined as follows:

Standard Warehouse (with no special usage)

A standard warehouse is defined by entering the warehouse name with its descriptions and selecting the Use for Issues indicator. Overissues of material (Home > Site > Material Issuing) are not possible with a standard warehouse.

Overissue Warehouse

To use a warehouse as an overissue warehouse, you must assign a company to the warehouse by selecting the company from the LOV in the Company field. All companies defined on Home > Administration > Companies and with the company type SUBCONTRACTOR assigned are available for selection.

Design Change Issue Warehouse

This warehouse type is used for design change issues.

Scrap Warehouse

A scrap warehouse is used by the site inspection feature. Material that does not pass the site inspection is transferred to the scrap warehouse and is no longer available to be issued or reserved.

Nested Plate Warehouse

Nested plate warehouses are used for steel plate handling. You cannot receive material into this warehouse. Only steel plates can be transferred into a nested plate warehouse.

This indicator cannot be combined with other warehouse types. You cannot assign a company to a nested plate warehouse.

Corporate Warehouse

Usually, when a project has been completed, material is left over that is not needed for the project anymore. To save time and money, this material can be made available to be used in other projects. The Corporate Warehouse (CWH) functionality can be used to manage this remaining material: to take it from the completed project and to make it available to other projects. The corporate warehouse functions as a pool to provide leftover material to other projects.

Free Issue Material (FIM) Warehouse

FIM warehouses are used to provide free-issue material. Commonly, this material is received from the EPCā€™s customer and made available for usage.

Rental Warehouse

Rental Warehouse is used for receiving the rental orders.

Warehouses can be defined on the Home > Site > Warehouses.

You can create a new warehouse by entering a name in the Warehouse field and descriptions in the Short Description and Description fields. The appropriate indicator(s) must be selected to define the warehouse type as described above.

The indicators can only be selected or cleared as long as no material has been received in that warehouse.
