# Warehouses

From here, you can keep your warehouse data accurate, update existing records, or deactivate warehouses that are no longer in use.

***

### 📋 Warehouse Listing

When you open Warehouse Management, you land on the **warehouse listing page**. This page shows a summary of all warehouses currently in the system, including:

* **Warehouse Code** – the unique identifier for the warehouse.
* **Name** – the full name of the warehouse.
* **Short Name** – the shortened version of the warehouse name.
* **Description** – a text description of the warehouse.
* **Status** – shows whether the warehouse is active or deactivated.

***

### ✏️ Editing a Warehouse

To update a warehouse, select it from the listing and click **Edit**. You can modify the following details:

* **Long Name**
* **Short Name**
* **Description**
* **Warehouse Code**
* **Address**

> ⚠️ When editing, required fields must be completed before saving changes.

***

### ➕ Adding a New Warehouse

You can also create new warehouses. When adding a warehouse, you’ll be prompted to provide the same fields available in editing:

* **Long Name**
* **Short Name**
* **Description**
* **Warehouse Code**
* **Address**

> 📝 Required fields must be filled in before the warehouse can be saved.

***

### 🚫 Deactivating a Warehouse

If a warehouse is no longer in use, you can **deactivate** it from the listing. This prevents new stock movements from being assigned to it while keeping its history intact for reporting.

* **Simplify Operations**: Deactivate unused warehouses to keep your system clean.
* **Expand Capacity**: Add new warehouses as your operations grow.
