Warehouse

A Warehouse is a physical or logical grouping of Items of stock. Each item may be assigned to multiple (or no) warehouses. For each item in a warehouse, that item’s current quantity and value of stock is stored.

Virtually every operation that can be performed on an item must be performed with respect to a particular warehouse.
