The Japanese word 入庫 (にゅうこ) primarily means "to put into storage," "to warehouse," or "to enter a warehouse." It implies the action of bringing something inside a designated storage area, such as a warehouse, a storage facility, or a specific stockroom. It can also refer to the process of items being received or accepted into a company's inventory. It often involves recording or logging the items as they are 入庫d.

This word is commonly used in business and logistics contexts, but can be applied in any situation where something is being stored. You can use this word when talking about the movement of goods, inventory management, or the process of receiving products. It’s useful for discussions involving warehouses, distribution centers, and storage facilities.

入庫 is written using the kanji 入 (meaning "enter" or "put in") and 庫 (meaning "storehouse" or "warehouse"). The reading is にゅうこ in hiragana. The okurigana (the suffix hiragana) for the verb form 入庫する is "する", but when used as a noun, it does not have okurigana.
