Manage the Warehouse Lifecycle From Receiving to Shipment

Business Central connects purchasing, inventory, warehouse activity, sales orders, and financial records so each department can work from the same information.

1

Receive incoming inventory

Create warehouse receipts from purchase orders, record partial or complete deliveries, and update inventory as goods arrive.

2

Put away and organize stock

Use locations, bins, zones, item tracking, and put-away documents to move received products into the correct storage areas.

3

Maintain accurate inventory

Track item availability, lot and serial numbers, internal movements, physical counts, and stock across multiple locations.

4

Pick, pack, and ship orders

Create picks from released sales orders, prepare products for shipment, post warehouse shipments, and update order and inventory records.

5

Transfer inventory between locations

Use transfer orders and in-transit locations to move products between warehouses while maintaining visibility throughout the process.

Improve Inventory Accuracy and Warehouse Visibility

Connect warehouse activity with purchasing, sales, inventory, accounting, and reporting so your team can make faster decisions using more accurate information.

Business Central can support straightforward stockroom operations or more structured warehouse environments using dedicated receipts, shipments, bins, zones, and directed put-away and pick.

It may be right for your business if:

You manage inventory across multiple locations or warehouses

Your team relies on spreadsheets or disconnected inventory systems

You need better visibility into stock levels and item availability

Receiving, put-away, picking, and shipping processes are inconsistent

You track lot numbers, serial numbers, bins, or transfer orders

Purchasing and replenishment decisions are difficult to coordinate

Warehouse activity needs to connect directly with sales and accounting
