If you have multiple warehouses to store your products, you can define and manage your warehouses in this mask.
You can group your warehouses within a region to enable regional shipping in combination with rules.
This feature is available as part of the Beyond Plan from version 6.4.19.0 and upwards.

Give a Name (1) to the warehouse. In the description (2) you can put additional information about the warehouse such as Address or the stored products. In the dropdown-menu Warehouse-groups (3) you can add the warehouse to one or more warehouse groups. The goal is to prioritize the warehouses within the orders in relation to the shipping address, in addition with rules. E.g. for international shipping, the order would be sent from warehouses near the shipping address to shorten the delivery times and tax, and avoid customs.
