Note: If you work with locations, a warehouse is called a warehouse zone. Locations and fulfillment orders with Pickware explains what changes as a result.
If you want to prevent the stock of certain warehouses, such as your returns warehouse or the warehouse of your retail store, from being available for online sales, you can disable this option in the warehouse settings.
You can tell which warehouses have online availability enabled by the green check marks in the warehouse overview.
Withholding stock
A warehouse without online availability also helps you deliberately withhold stock from online sales. Typical cases are:
You only want to offer part of your stock online, for example 100 of 150 units
You are taking consignment goods to a trade fair and do not want to sell them online in the meantime
A goods receipt was booked incorrectly and can no longer be deleted
To do this, create a separate warehouse (if you work with locations: a separate warehouse zone), disable online availability there, and move the withheld stock into it. It remains part of your total stock but does not count toward sellable stock. When you move it back, it is available for sale again. Whatever you sell at the trade fair, you book out directly from this warehouse.
