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 are:

Standard Warehouse (with no special usages)

To define a standard warehouse, just enter the warehouse name with its descriptions and select the dropdown in Use for Issues column as ‘Yes’. Overissues of material (MIR by Reservation, MIR by BOM Commodity & MIR by BOM Commodity (Group By)) are not possible with a standard warehouse.

Overissue Warehouse

To use a warehouse as an overissue warehouse, you have to assign a company to the warehouse. Select a company from the LOV in the Company field; all companies defined on Companies Screen 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 will be transferred to the scrap warehouse and will no longer be available to be issued or reserved.

Nested Plate Warehouse

Nested plate warehouses are used for steel plate handling. You can only receive material into this warehouse with a direct MRR by selecting the Plate check box. You can also transfer the steel plates into a nested plate warehouse using MTR.

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 Warehouse

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

Rental

A rental warehouse is to be used only for the receiving of rental orders. This warehouse cannot be used for reservation and issue vs. BOM.

You can define warehouses on the Warehouses screen.

A new warehouse is created when you enter 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.

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