# Warehouse roles

Which warehouse permissions give which menu entries, and how workers and supervisors see different screens for the same process.

A picker needs to get the next picking slip and start picking, not wade through every open order. That's why most processes in OrderEazi's Warehouse Management have two menu entries: a worker's entry that starts the job, and a supervisor's entry that lists and manages every job. Which one a person sees depends on their permissions.

### Before you start

You need the **Manage Users** permission, in the **Settings** permission group, to change someone's permissions. If you don't have it, ask your OrderEazi administrator. Warehouse permissions are on the **Warehouse** tab of a user in [Edit User](/central/order-management/settings/manage-users/edit-user.md), or on their role. The tab is only shown with the Enterprise licence.

### Administrators and managers

Two permissions in the **Warehousing** group open the whole warehouse menu.

**View and Use as Administrator:** This person sees every menu entry, and every warehouse's stock and orders.

**View and Use as Manager:** This person sees every menu entry, but only the warehouses ticked under **Manage Warehouses** on their **Warehouse** tab. With no warehouses ticked, they see no stock or orders.

If someone has both, **View and Use as Administrator** applies. Everyone else sees only the menu entries their permissions allow, and only the warehouses ticked under **Manage Warehouses**.

### Workers and supervisors

For these processes, a worker's permission gives the worker's entry. Someone with the supervisor's permission, **View and Use as Administrator**, or **View and Use as Manager** sees the supervisor's entry instead of the worker's.

| Process             | Worker's entry                      | Supervisor's entry                  | Worker's permission             | Supervisor's permission              |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Picking             | **Get Picking Slip**                | **Picking Slips**                   | **Perform Picking/Put Back**    | **Picking Slip/Put Back Supervisor** |
| Put back            | **Get Put Back**                    | **Put Back**                        | **Perform Picking/Put Back**    | **Picking Slip/Put Back Supervisor** |
| Checking            | **Start Checking**                  | **Checking**                        | **Perform Checking**            | **Checking Supervisor**              |
| Dispatch            | **Start Tripsheet**                 | **Dispatch** and **Multi-Dispatch** | **Perform Dispatching**         | **Dispatch Supervisor**              |
| Supplier returns    | **Create Supplier Return**          | **Supplier Returns**                | **Perform Supplier Returns**    | **Supplier Returns Supervisor**      |
| Disposals           | **Create Disposal**                 | **Disposals**                       | **Disposal**                    | **Disposal Supervisor**              |
| Warehouse transfers | **Warehouse Transfer** (create one) | **Warehouse Transfer** (the list)   | **Perform Warehouse Transfers** | **Manage Warehouse Transfers**       |

A **Picking Slip/Put Back Supervisor** also sees **Checking** rather than **Start Checking**.

**Example:** Sipho picks orders, so he has **Perform Picking/Put Back**. His menu shows **Get Picking Slip**, which prints his next slip when he scans a picking printer's barcode. Lerato runs the picking team, so she has **Picking Slip/Put Back Supervisor**. Her menu shows **Picking Slips**, the list of every picking slip in her warehouses.

**Receive Warehouse Transfers** and **Manage Warehouse Transfer Receive** let someone receive a transfer when it arrives at the warehouse it was sent to.

### Getting between sales and the warehouse

The **Inventory** entry in the main menu opens Warehouse Management for anyone with a permission on the **Warehouse** tab. The **Sales** entry in the warehouse menu takes people back, if they have **View and Use as Administrator** or a **Sales Dashboard** permission.
