Warehousing is a comprehensive place that reflects the activity status of factory materials, and serves as a transfer station connecting production, supply, and sales. It plays an important auxiliary role in promoting production and improving efficiency. Warehousing is the temporary storage of products and items during the production and circulation process due to pre order or pre market forecasting. At the same time, around the physical activities of warehousing, clear and accurate reports, document accounts, and accurate information calculated by the accounting department are also being carried out simultaneously. Therefore, warehousing is the integration of logistics, information flow, and document flow.

Traditional warehousing refers to the activity of using warehouses to store, store, and release various types of materials and related facilities and equipment. Modern warehousing refers to adding processes such as processing, sorting, and packaging within the warehouse on the basis of traditional warehousing. Warehousing is one of the important links in production, manufacturing, and commodity circulation, as well as an important link in logistics activities.
