[Warehouse Management](https://support.paragon-erp.com/inventory?hsLang=en#warehouse-management) June 9, 2025 # Related Warehouses - Receiving into your third-party warehouse ### Introduction Do you have a third-party vendor that manages your inventory? In some cases, a company will use a third party logistics warehouse (3PL) to store and ship its products. This article will show you how a related or third party warehouse can be used in ParagonERP transactions. Of course, before using your related warehouses in transactions, make sure you've [set up your related warehouses](https://support.paragon-erp.com/creating-new-locations?hsLang=en) in your ParagonERP settings first. #### Receive your items Let's say you've issued a [purchase order](https://support.paragon-erp.com/creating-a-purchase-order?hsLang=en) to one of your vendors, and you want the items to be shipped to your related warehouse. Upon receiving the items into your related warehouse, you would select the related warehouse you're receiving into, and use the address of the related warehouse as your **ship to** warehouse. First, navigate to the **receive** module. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Feb-02-2024-09-08-20-1085-PM-1-1-3-1.png) Then, [create the receipt from your purchase order](https://support.paragon-erp.com/creating-a-receipt?hsLang=en). ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Feb-02-2024-09-08-23-1710-PM-1-1-3-1.png)   Once you've selected the purchase order you would like to receive, click the **edit** button, and then click the **related warehouse** link located under the transaction date. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Related%20companies%20button-jpg.jpeg?width=688&height=332&name=Related%20companies%20button-jpg.jpeg) A modal will pop up, and you'll be prompted to enter which related warehouse you're receiving into. Here, we'll choose 3PL as our related warehouse. Select *third party warehouse* from the **drop down** menu. Click the **accept** button once you're finished. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-03-2025-01-57-30-0222-PM.png?width=688&height=522&name=image-png-Feb-03-2025-01-57-30-0222-PM.png) #### Select your 3PL address Once you've added your 3PL as a related warehouse and clicked the **accept** button, you'll be brought to the main **receipt** screen. You'll notice that nothing seems to have changed. Not quite! Click **ship** **to,** and click the blue **drop down** arrow**.** **![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Select%203PL%20address-jpg.jpeg?width=688&height=363&name=Select%203PL%20address-jpg.jpeg)**   You'll have a list of addresses to choose from. Select your 3PL address. You've now told the system to receive those items into your 3PL warehouse. **Save** your transaction once done. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Feb-02-2024-09-08-19-4232-PM-1-1-3-1.png) #### Issue your receipt Once you're ready to receive the goods into your warehouse, **issue** your receipt. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Issue%20receipt-jpg.jpeg?width=688&height=364&name=Issue%20receipt-jpg.jpeg) #### I've issued my receipt, now what? Once the receipt has been issued, you will get a notification letting you know that the purchase order associated to this receipt has been automatically completed - as long as the receipt was made for all units. To have the inventory show up in your warehouse, **complete** the receipt**.** **![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Complete%20receipt-jpg.jpeg?width=151&height=277&name=Complete%20receipt-jpg.jpeg)** Once completed check your inventory to verify the items have been properly received into the right location. Go to the **inventory** module**.**  **![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Search%20inventory-jpg.jpeg?width=688&height=143&name=Search%20inventory-jpg.jpeg)** Search your items from the search bar, or scroll down the list view until you find the items you've received. Double click on the item to enter **detail view.** Click the **history** tab at the top of the screen. Here, you can see the referenced transaction number, and that the inventory has been received into the third party warehouse. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Inventory%20warehouse-jpg.jpeg?width=688&height=279&name=Inventory%20warehouse-jpg.jpeg) #### What's next?
