Warehouse Type
A label on warehouses. Only Transit changes behaviour, marking the in between store for two step transfers. No ledger effect.
In detail
Warehouse Type is a label such as Stores, Retail, Transit or Scrap that you attach to warehouses for grouping and reporting. Only one type changes behaviour: Transit. A warehouse marked Transit becomes the halfway stop for two step Material Transfers, where goods leave the source store, sit in transit while the truck is on the road, and are received at the destination with a second Stock Entry. Stock in a transit warehouse still sits in Stock In Hand - YFF, so the Balance Sheet is unaffected, but the Stock Balance report shows it apart from both stores. Other types are purely descriptive filters.
