A store or warehouse, is a building or room where materials ( Usually called inventory) are kept. Store keeping involves the proper receipt, safe custody, preservation and issue of the materials to various users or customers and also the physical and financial accounting of the stocks kept in the store. The two words "Store" and "Warehouse" are used synonymously in India while in the west the word "Warehouse" is preferred and the word "Storehouse" is used rather than "Store"

There is big difference between store and warehouse.

Store means where we can keep necessary items for urgent need, for example in big supermarket and hypermarket they have their store, in order to fulfill shortage of supply.

but if we talk about warehouse, so we can say that in bulk quantities we keep and store all items there for supply and logistic in various purpose. warehouse is known for it bulk quantity capacity.

Store - Storage location where all the materials are stored and Inventory takes place on qty basis.mainly the physical inventory.

 

Store as part of Materials Management, can only provide information on the total quantity of material in stock,

 

Warehouse Management enables a precise specification of the exact location of a particular quantity of material

and informs you whether this quantity is currently in a storage bin or on the move.

 

For complex stock management Warehouse is used

 

Hope it helps
