Using dock locations

When a warehouse uses locations, dock locations can be used.

In LN, two types of dock locations exist:

• Staging

  A staging location, or staging lane, is an area near a shipping dock where material is gathered and consolidated before shipment.

• Receiving

  A receiving dock location is an area near a receiving dock where received material is placed before being put away. With the help of inbound advice, the items from this location are assigned to inventory locations.

If a warehouse uses locations, at least one receiving location and one staging location must be set up.

Dock locations are created in the Warehouse - Dock Locations (whwmd2120m000) session. The first receiving dock location and inspection location are created in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session.
