Warehouses are now in price, so manyowners of trading organizations either rent out, or acquire warehouses. We will not say that it is more profitable to rent or build our own warehouse. Let us dwell on the question of the organization of the warehouse. How to make a warehouse that would allow to effectively ship goods, and also replenish inventory quickly and with minimal human resource costs?

Organization of a warehouse

Warehouse - is the premises of large or mediumthe size in which the products of the company or enterprise are stored, the commodity stocks of the store or the trading organization, etc. The warehouse can also be organized in a small room if it does not provide storage of huge volumes of commodity stocks, for example, a small stock of food stocks is available in each private house. The correct organization of the warehouse begins with the correct choice of the location where the warehouse will be located. It should be as convenient as possible for the entrance of heavy vehicles, which will take some goods away, and others will be delivered to the warehouse. It is very important that separate inputs / outputs from the warehouse be provided for the shipment and delivery of goods. Naturally, some warehouses are so small that it is impossible to organize such replenishment and shipment of warehouse stocks.

Before you organize a warehouse, you need totake care of the purchase of special equipment - it is purchased, in accordance with the specifics of the warehouse, as well as taking into account the size of the warehouse. If the premises are large and high, it is advisable to purchase racks that can be assembled and disassembled if necessary. Multi-level racks are the best option for storing products of almost all trading groups. In addition to the purchase of equipment, it is necessary to think about buying special equipment, such as forklifts, etc.

Inventory control

In a warehouse it is necessary to organize the account -perhaps, one of the most important components, as the reporting on warehouse stocks has a direct relation to the balance of the enterprise or organization. The basic documents confirming the arrival and consumption in the warehouse are the commodity waybills of the corresponding sample, according to which the warehouse reporting is prepared. All the balances in the warehouse must clearly coincide with the balances of accounting. Warehouse accounting is maintained by the warehouse manager who monthly, in accordance with his job descriptions, approved by the head of the enterprise, hand over the rest of the warehouse to the company's bookkeeping department.

The warehouse manager isa materially responsible person, therefore, he solves all issues related to how to organize the work of the warehouse, personally oversees the shipment and loading of warehouse valuables. In the warehouse, in addition to the manager, several more storekeepers can work, who obey the manager and strictly follow all his instructions, if, of course, they are directed to the correct operation of the warehouse. All goods from the warehouse should be issued only in the presence of invoices, which indicate the name of the organization or person receiving the goods, its quantity, as well as the cost. Required availability on invoices. If a defective product is found in the warehouse, it is subject to write-off, that is, the warehouse manager makes an act to write-off.

Inventory in stock

Successful organization and functioning of the warehouseIt is impossible without an annual inventory. In principle, if the warehouse is small, the inventory will not cause any problems, but in large warehouses, organizing inventory is a laborious, but extremely important and necessary measure. Organize an inventory is necessary in order to identify the surplus or shortage of commodity values. If the warehouse manager knew how to properly organize the warehouse, then he will not have problems with the shipment of goods, since all of them will be divided in the room by name and group. But if the warehouse is organized incorrectly, shortages are most often identified, re-sorted goods that are associated with the shipment of goods at a price different from that which applies to a specific product name. Of course, there are losses that the warehouse manager must reimburse.
