Arecruit and train the workers employed in the sales team.
Bstore goods safely until they are needed for sale or production.
Cdecide the prices at which finished goods will be sold.
Dcollect payment from the customers who have bought goods on credit.

A warehouse bridges the gap between the rate at which goods are produced or bought and the rate at which they are wanted, so production can run steadily and seasonal demand can still be met. Pricing, credit control and recruitment belong to other departments.
