# Create Warehouse-Confined Storage Units

> Learn how to create storage units and restrict them to specific warehouses with this configuration guide.

You can create storage units that are either available across all warehouses or restricted to a single warehouse. Confining a storage unit to a specific warehouse helps keep your inventory organised.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to storage units">
    From the main screen, go to **Settings > Storage Units**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new storage unit">
    Click **New** to begin creating your storage unit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the details">
    Enter the required information, including the **type** and **name** of the storage unit. To restrict the unit to a particular warehouse, select that warehouse from the available options. If you leave the warehouse field blank, the unit will be available across all warehouses.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate the storage unit">
    Ensure the **Active** toggle is set to **Yes**. This makes the storage unit ready for use.
  </Step>
</Steps>

  If the warehouse field is left blank, the storage unit can be used in any warehouse.
