# Your warehouse and its locations

> Set up your warehouse's details, add racks and shelves as locations, and say where each product is kept.

A warehouse is a place you keep and sell stock from: your shop floor, a store room, a second branch. Locations are the racks and shelves inside it. By the end you will know how to set up both, so staff can find any product.

## Your warehouse

A new shop has one warehouse. Your plan sets how many warehouses you can have.

1. **Open [Settings › Warehouse](/app/settings/Warehouses).** Each warehouse shows its **Name**, **Phone**, **Country**, **City**, **Email** and **Zip Code**.
2. **Click Edit** in its row to change its details. **Name** is required; the rest is optional.
3. **Click Submit.**

![Settings › Warehouse: Search and Create above the list, with one warehouse, Default Warehouse.](https://armpos.online/storage/help/ac321135d1-warehouses-and-locations-1-warehouses.webp)
*Each warehouse has its own stock. The row's buttons are Locations, Edit and Delete.*

![The Edit window for a warehouse: Name, Phone, Country, City, Email and Zip Code, and Submit.](https://armpos.online/storage/help/1ac6cf7c1f-warehouses-and-locations-2-edit.webp)
*Only the name is required.*

**Create** adds another warehouse, when your plan allows more than one. Each one has its own stock; the POS sells from the one you pick in its top bar, and [transfers](/app/help/move-stock-between-warehouses) move stock between them.

> **Tip:** With more than one warehouse, set **Default Warehouse** in **Settings › System Settings**, on the **Defaults** tab, so the POS opens on that one.

## Racks and shelves

A location is a named place inside a warehouse, such as a shelf or a rack.

1. **Open [Settings › Warehouse Locations](/app/settings/Warehouse_Locations)** (or **Locations** in a warehouse's row) **and click Create.**
2. **Choose the Warehouse.** It is required.
3. **Enter the Rack/Location Code** (required), such as A1, and a **Location Name**, such as Front shelf.
4. **Leave it Active** and **click Submit.**

![The Create window for a location: Warehouse Default Warehouse, Rack/Location Code A1, Location Name Front shelf, Active, and Submit.](https://armpos.online/storage/help/d1d0084136-warehouses-and-locations-3-location.webp)
*The code is what staff look for on the shelf label.*

![Warehouse Locations: the Warehouse filter set to All, Create and Search, and two locations in Default Warehouse: B2 Back store rack and A1 Front shelf, both Active.](https://armpos.online/storage/help/99d0c75210-warehouses-and-locations-4-list.webp)
*Filter by warehouse to see one warehouse's racks.*

To say where a product is kept, open the product's **Edit** page and fill **Internal Location (Rack/Shelf)**. **Reports › Internal Location Report** then lists products by location.
