Number of staging locations

If the daily number of shipment lines is large compared to the number of available staging locations, locking problems can occur.

By default, one staging location is in use for a warehouse. To avoid locking problems and therefore performance reduction, you must define more staging locations. To do so:

  1. In the Warehouse - Locations (whwmd3500m000) session, add multiple locations of type Staging to the required warehouses.
  2. In the Warehouse - Dock Locations (whwmd2120m000) session, define multiple dock locations for the warehouses.

  3. To define the dock locations, select the staging locations defined in the previous step.
  4. Assign the dock locations to items, business partners, or both, preferably the business partners for whom the largest volumes of outbound shipment lines are created.

As a result, the dock locations assigned to the items or business partners are used during the outbound process.
