Modifying a TWL location record using TWL Web to enable Primary Pick

After your TWL system is live, use these instructions to maintain a location record from TWL Web module.

  1. Select TWL Configuration > Location.
  2. Use the Search pane to specify criteria to search for an existing record to maintain.
    Note: A wide-open search can adversely affect the quality of the search, may cause timeout errors, and may affect performance. Use the Search pane fields to limit the results. For example, specify a Warehouse Zone or specify a Record Limits value.
  3. In the grid, select a predefined record and click the drill down icon.
  4. Click Edit to access the fields.
  5. Specify changes.

    Optionally, if this location is to be a primary pick location, select Primary Pick and additional fields are displayed. Specify this primary pick information:

    Product
    Specify the item.
    Pick Type
    Select one of these options:
    • Full: This location stores full cases of the item. Pickers are routed to this location when full case quantities must be picked.
    • Split: This type of location is used when pickers are directed to fill less-than-full case quantities. If you only set up one type of primary location for an item, we recommend you assign a split case location.
    • Counter: This type of location is for selling merchandise directly to customers from the warehouse.
    • Pallet: When split case primary locations are located in areas inaccessible by devices used during pallet picking, this location type is used to store the item. During order dropping, the picking method is selected and pickers are routed to the pallet pick location rather than the split case location.
    Replenishment Quantity
    Specify a quantity, based on the Replenish By unit you select. When the location reaches its minimum quantity, replenishment is scheduled according the value specified here.
    Replenish By
    Select Item Unit, Case Size, or Pallet Size. These values are the unit and the case and pallet quantities specified in the TWL Configuration-Item-General master record. When the location reaches its minimum quantity, replenishment is scheduled according the value specified here.
    Maximum Level
    The maximum quantity this location can contain.
    Minimum Level
    The minimum quantity this location can contain.
  6. If you are assigning an item that is assigned to another zone, respond to the message: Do you want to update default zone for item ‘nnnnnnnn’ from “nn” to “nn”?
    1. Select Yes to update the TWL Configuration-Item master record.
    2. Click OK to save the primary pick information.
  7. Click Save.

    If you are removing a record, a message is displayed to confirm your decision.
