Warehouse - to keep track of rental equipment

ERPNext Stock/Inventory
1

how many warehouse can we have ?

equipment is rented to a large number of clients. we need to keep track of equipment (inventory) at each client - one way would be to create a warehouse for each client and transfer rental inventory to this warehouse. would this be a correct way of implementing rental inventory ? the number of clients is quite large - right now we have about 450+ client locations. would the system work with so many warehouses ?

thanks for any help

Ravi,

No limit on the no. of transactions as such.

Will recommend you to create only one warehouse for the tracking rentals. In the Stock Entry, you can select Customer/Contact to whom item has been issued.

Recommended practice is to create a single RENTAL warehouse.
Use the Material Transfer transaction.
Add a custom field - ‘customer’ to the Material Transfer form.

how do we make the “customer” field only appear when the transaction is “Material Transfer”?
customer field should not show up for other transaction type
