-# INV-PART-WAREHOUSES
+# Warehouses
 
+Part warehouses in AyaNova are a location that contains it's own inventory of [Parts](inv-parts.md).
 
+This might be a building, a service vehicle, anything that makes sense for your business.
+
+It is not necessary to create multiple warehouses, AyaNova always has a Default part warehouse available.
+
+Inventory must be turned on with the ["Use inventory"](adm-global-settings.md#use-inventory) global business setting in order to use the Part warehouses feature.

+## How to access Part warehouses
+
+Warehouses are accessed in the following ways:
+
+- From the `Inventory` navigation pane `Warehouses` item to open the Inventory [data table](ay-start-form-data-tables.md)
+- By clicking on the [open record icon](ay-start-form-autocomplete.md#opening-selected-record) in any Warehouse autocomplete list on any other form where warehouses can be selected.
+
+- From any [data table](ay-start-form-data-tables.md) column showing warehouses such as the [Inventory transactions table](inv-part-inventory-transactions.md)
+
+## The "Default" warehouse
+
+AyaNova always has a "Default" warehouse available if inventory is [turned on](adm-global-settings.md#use-inventory).
+
+The default warehouse is named "Default" when you first start with AyaNova and can be renamed if desired.
+
+The default warehouse can not be deleted or made inactive but other fields can be edited as needed.
+
+Other warehouses created can be edited in any way required but can not be deleted once they have inventory in them.
+
+## Warehouses data table
+
+The Warehouses [data table](ay-start-form-data-tables.md) lists all the Warehouses available, provides the '+' link to create a new Warehouse and provides access to common [data table menu options](ay-start-form-data-tables.md#common-menu-options).
+
+## Warehouse edit form
+
+The Warehouse edit form provides all the [standard edit form](ay-start-edit-forms.md) functionality and the following fields:
+
+The Name field is the only required field on this form, all other fields are optional.
+
+#### Warehouse Name
+
+This is the name of the Warehouse as it's displayed in forms and reports. This is also the primary identifier when searching for a Warehouse to select in [autocomplete](ay-start-form-autocomplete.md) lists. A Warehouse name must be unique from all other Warehouses entered.
+
+This is the only **required** field on the form. All other fields are optional and can be [hidden](ay-customize.md) if not required.
+
+#### Active
+
+Warehouses that are set to Active can be selected on new records that use warehouses.
+
+Warehouses not set to Active will still show in older records but can not be selected for new records; this is how you retire a Warehouse from use.
+
+#### Notes
+
+Notes about this record for internal staff use. Notes can also be reported on if desired.
+
+These notes are only visible in this form.
+
+#### Tags
