# Warehouse management

Once items are in your warehouse, day to day reality doesn't always match what's recorded in the system. Warehouse management covers the three actions you need to keep stock accurate: moving items between storage locations, removing items from stock, and booking items in manually.

#### Moving items within the warehouse

Moving an item updates its storage location without changing stock levels. Nothing is ordered, removed, or consumed, you're only correcting where an item is recorded as being stored.

Select the item in the warehouse view and update its storage location. The change is saved immediately and reflected across the system, so picking, reservations, and fulfillment continue to work off the correct location.

This is typically used during inventory checks, after physically relocating stock, or when reorganizing storage areas.

#### Removing items from the warehouse

Use a warehouse removal when items need to come out of stock outside of a normal order, for example due to inventory corrections or missing goods.

When removing items, specify how many units to take out and provide a reason. The reason is stored as free text and documents why the stock level changed.

If the product has attribute values such as serial numbers, enter them during the removal. If that information isn't available, for example when an item is lost, you can skip the attribute entry and complete the removal anyway.

#### Booking items into the warehouse manually

Not every warehouse entry comes from a purchase order. Use a manual booking to add items that were received outside of a purchasing process.

Select the product to book in. Available products are based on your product master data, which defines what can be stored in the warehouse. Then specify the quantity, assign a storage location (or create a new one by entering its name), and set the date the items were identified as being in stock. A note is optional.

Once saved, the items are added to the warehouse without a purchase order behind them.

#### Interaction with fulfillment

As soon as items are booked into the warehouse, whether through a purchase order or manually, Equipme checks whether they're needed for existing orders. If so, they're reserved immediately and made available for fulfillment and picking.

This means warehouse stock isn't just a record, it's actively used to move open orders forward.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hub.equipme.io/documentation/warehouse/warehouse-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
