In the Odoo *Inventory* app, a *warehouse* is a physical space with an address for storing items, such as a storage facility, distribution center, or physical store.

Each database has a pre-configured warehouse with the company's address. Users can set up multiple warehouses, and [create stock moves](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/modules/estoque/rotas-e-regras-push-pull/) between them.

## Configuration

To create or manage warehouses, go to **Inventory app -> Configuration -> Warehouses**.

Then, select an existing warehouse, or create a new one by clicking **New**. Doing so opens the warehouse form, which contains the following fields:

- **Warehouse** (*required field*): the full name of the warehouse.

- **Short Name** (*required field*): the abbreviated code for the warehouse (maximum five characters). The short name for the default warehouse in Odoo is `WH`.

  Important

  The **Short Name** appears on warehouse documents, so it is recommended to use an memorable one, like "WH\[first letters of location]" (e.g. `WHA`, `WHB`, etc.).

- **Address** (*required field*): the address of the warehouse. To change the warehouse address when creating two or more warehouses, hover over the field, and click the -> **(right arrow)**.

- **Company** (*required field*): the company that owns the warehouse; this can be set as the company that owns the Odoo database, or the company of a customer or vendor.

- **Intrastat region**: region name required for companies in the European Union.

Important

The options below are available **only** when the *Multi-Step Routes* feature is enabled in **Inventory app -> Configuration -> Settings**.

- **Incoming Shipments**: select the option to receive products from the warehouse in [one](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/modules/estoque/recebimento-e-entrega-em-uma-unica-etapa/), [two](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/modules/estoque/recebimento-e-entrega-em-duas-etapas/), or [three](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/modules/estoque/recebimento-em-tres-etapas/) steps.
- **Outgoing Shipments**: select the option to deliver products from the warehouse in [one](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/modules/estoque/recebimento-e-entrega-em-uma-unica-etapa/), [two](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/modules/estoque/recebimento-e-entrega-em-duas-etapas/), or [three](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/modules/estoque/entrega-em-tres-etapas/) steps.
