## What Does Archiving a Warehouse Do?

**Archiving a warehouse** removes it from your active planning views and replenishment calculations without permanently deleting the warehouse or its historical data. Use this when a warehouse is no longer in operation but you want to retain its inventory history for reporting purposes.

### When to Archive a Warehouse

* A fulfillment location has been closed or decommissioned
* You are consolidating inventory into fewer locations
* A warehouse is temporarily out of operation

## Prerequisites

**Time Required:** Under 1 minute\
**Difficulty:** Beginner

Before archiving, make sure you have:

* [ ] Admin or Manager role in Moselle
* [ ] Confirmed the warehouse is no longer needed for active planning

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Before archiving:** Ensure any open purchase orders or replenishment plans referencing this warehouse have been resolved or reassigned. Archiving will exclude the warehouse from future planning runs.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I unarchive a warehouse?

**Answer:** Yes. Archived warehouses can be restored if needed. Contact your Moselle administrator or reach out to support to reactivate an archived warehouse.

### Will archiving a warehouse delete my inventory data?

**Answer:** No. Archiving is non-destructive — your historical inventory records and transaction history are preserved. Only the warehouse's participation in active planning is removed.

### What happens to replenishment plans that reference an archived warehouse?

**Answer:** Archived warehouses are excluded from future planning runs. Review any existing plans that referenced the warehouse and update them before archiving.
