# Warehouses and Stock

Sarah allows you to manage **multiple warehouses** per company (branch, central warehouse, store, etc.).  
Each inventory movement is always recorded against a specific warehouse.

## Create and configure warehouses

1. Go to the **Warehouses** module from the main menu.
2. Click **"New warehouse"**.
3. Define:
   - Warehouse name (e.g., "Central Warehouse", "Palermo Store").
   - Address or location reference.
4. Save changes.

## Stock by warehouse

Each product's stock is stored in the `product_deposit` relationship table, which allows:

- View how many units there are per product in each warehouse.
- Differentiate physical stock by location.

In the interface you can:

- View **total stock** of a product.
- Break down stock by warehouse.

## Default warehouse

In many operations (for example, sales from a POS associated with a branch) there's a **default warehouse**:

- Sales deduct stock from that warehouse.
- Receiving and transfers are done relative to it, unless another is specified.

Review your company's configuration to see which warehouse is used by default in each point of sale.
