WARES Setup Overview

A company is a single warehouse business which stores and manages goods for multiple accounts kept in one or more buildings. Use Company selections to setup information about a warehouse company, its accounts, and its products.

Warehousing Company

Each instance of WARES is used by one warehousing company. The identifier and contact information for the warehouse is displayed in this form, along with control data for the Warehousing Company.

Facilities and Locations

A warehouse company is responsible for goods under management in buildings or facilities and locations within and around them. Information to describe these buildings and locations is entered in Building Locations.

Program User Management

Setup Program Users in this section of company setup. Users may be restricted to viewing information for specific customer accounts, or to performing specific functions, depending on their role.

Services Code Setup

WARES provides a default set of services billing codes, but these codes may be changed or extended with options on this page. Click this link to see the Initial Service Code List.

Customer Accounts

For private warehousing, accounts might be departments or divisions in the company ledgers. Public warehouses use one or more unique Customer Accounts for each warehouse customer.

Contacts and Addresses

Address information is collected in a single table of Contacts and Addresses. Before an address identifier can be used in Company Setup or elsewhere in WARES, the contact or address must first be entered here.

Inventory Products

Each of the Products and Varieties in the warehouse belongs to an account, and each product or variety of good stored for an account is described with a product record.

Setup of billing information for third-party warehousing is included in the billing selections. The rates for billing should be moved to Accounts.
