You can define per Warehouse whether:

- it will participate in the **cost prices calculation**,
- a stock items **balance control** will be carried out for the specific warehouse,
- it will participate in a **W.H. Group** (see below)

You can also set the storage bins – shelves, in order to monitor certain storage locations during transactions.
