How warehouses and outlets differ

Web Updated Aug 2026

RushFlow separates storage warehouses from selling outlets, so you know whether stock is on a shelf ready to sell or in a stockroom. Each holds its own quantities, and you move stock between them with in-transit control.

The difference

  • Outlet — where you sell; the POS deducts from its stock
  • Warehouse — storage; holds stock that isn’t on the shop floor
  • Stock moves between them via transfers, tracked in transit

Where to find it

Web: add and manage locations in your branch/warehouse settings. App: Inventory workspace → inventory locations.

Separating storage from selling keeps “what can I sell right now?” honest.
