Warehouse Receipt
A "Warehouse Receipt" is a document that is issued by a warehouse operator to a customer who has deposited goods for storage. This document serves as proof of ownership of the goods and provides details about the goods being stored, such as their quantity, condition, and location within the warehouse. Warehouse Receipts can be used as collateral for loans or as evidence of ownership in legal disputes.
