What is a Warehouse in Fr8labs WMS Module

A logical loc ation where stock resides. You can build a hierarchy to mirror your physical site:

• Parent Warehouse (e.g., “Dubai DC”)

  • Child: Floor 1

    • Child: Aisle A/ Rack A1

• • Child: Floor 2

This helps data logging and future reporting (where stock sits).
