Hello Subasheri,

I think you are managing your inventory in external system. This concept is called as Decentralized Warehouse Management. In DWM, the main ERP system will work as backend system for external warehouse system. The main transactions like PO, GR, Sales Order, Delivery are carried out in ERP system where as inventory related transactions like Picking, packing, confirmation etc are carried out in external Warehouse system.

For more information, you can go through the following documentaiton.
