Warehouse Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000)

Use this session to set up the general parameters for Warehousing.

Revision numbers

When an item is ordered, the order can specify a revision number and a lot number:

If the item is an engineering item, orders specify the relevant revision number.
If the item is lot controlled, orders specify the lot number.

If the item is not available in the form specified on the order, LN can sometimes use a replacement item. Under certain conditions, the replacement item can have a different revision number.

If an item is both revision controlled and lot controlled, the lot number must always be the same. However, a parameter determines whether the revision number must also be the same. Therefore, you must specify whether the revision number of the order is binding. You can use any of the following parameters to specify whether revision numbers are binding:

The Revision of Order Binding when Entering Receipts check box applies when you enter receipts.
The Revision of Order Binding when Generating Outbound Advice check box applies when you generate outbound advice.
The Revision of Order Binding when Manually Entering Outbound Advice check box applies when you manually enter an outbound advice.

These three parameters only apply if the following conditions are met:

The items are both lot controlled and revision controlled.
The Engineering Revisions in Lot Control check box in the Lot Control Parameters (whltc0100s000) session is selected.

Clear the Engineering Revisions on Orders Active check box if you not want to use revisions in Warehousing.

Note: If the Engineering Revisions check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session is cleared, you cannot use revision-controlled items.

Test Storage Conditions

The selected tests for storage conditions are carried out in the order of the fields:

Item
Item Group
Location
Warehouse

The storage conditions are tested

When storing an item.
Before inbound movement.
Before transfer.

The test is performed to see whether the storage conditions within the warehouse or location meet the required conditions for the item (group)

Field Information

Effective Date

The date and time that the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting.

Description

The description of the parameter set.

In/Outbound

Inbound

Use Only Unoccupied Locations when Generating Inbound Advice

If this check box is selected, the Generate Inbound Advice (whinh3201m000) session only advises unoccupied locations when you generate an inbound advice. If you clear this check box, LN advises both occupied and unoccupied locations with available capacity.

An occupied location is one at which inventory has been registered or at which capacity has been allocated as a result of inbound movement (advised or manually created).

Note: This parameter is only relevant to inbound advice.

Use Free (Unfixed) Locations when Generating Inbound Advice

If this check box is selected, all locations are considered when generating inbound advice in the Generate Inbound Advice (whinh3201m000) session. If this check box is cleared, LN only takes fixed locations into consideration for advice.

Note: In the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session, you can record whether a location is a fixed or a free (that is, non-fixed) location for the item.

Revision of Order Binding when Entering Receipts

If this check box is selected, LN only generates inbound advice for revisions of engineering items on the order.

Default value

The default value is derived from the Engineering Revisions check box of the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. If the Engineering Revisions check box is selected, the current check box is also selected. If the Engineering Revisions check box is cleared, the current check box is disabled.

Outbound

Print Released Outbound Report for Collect Orders

If this check box is selected, a report is printed for collect sales-orders. The report contains the issued items and blocked items.

Revision of Order Binding when Generating Outbound Advice

If this check box is selected, LN only generates outbound advice for lots that include the revisions of engineering items that are the same as the revisions as recorded on the outbound-order line. So, the revision on the outbound-order line is binding for the revision of the outbound advice.

Default value

Revision of Order Binding when Manually Entering Outbound Advice

If this check box is selected, you can only manually create outbound advice for lots that include the revisions of engineering items that are the same as the revisions as recorded on the outbound-order line. So, the revision on the outbound-order line is binding for the revision of the outbound advice.

Default value

Order

Engineering Revisions on Orders Active

If this check box is selected, you can enter revisions on warehouse orders. The warehouse order contains data about the revisions that are used in a project.

With a maximum length of 18 characters
With a sequence number as mask segment
Without an LN field as mask segment

Note: You can specify the handling unit masks for warehouse related handling units in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session. If no default masks are specified in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session, the default handling unit mask in the current field is used.

You can create masks in the Masks (tcibd4102m000) session.

You cannot use the mask in the current field as serial-shipping container code (SSCC). You can specify an outbound handling unit mask for SSCC per warehouse in the following fields in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session:

Shipment Handling Unit Mask
Shipment Handling Unit Mask according to SSCC Standard

Handling Unit Version Controlled

If this check box is selected, handling units for which splitting is enabled can be defined as version controlled. If a handling unit is version controlled, you can use the handling unit after it has been split. For each split-up handling unit, a new version code is generated. Handling units can be split up into two or more handling units, for example, as a result of inbound advice to different locations. A version-controlled handling unit is modified and kept active after activities such as adding or taking out inventory.

The setting of this check box is defaulted to the Handling Unit Version Controlled check box in the Items - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4101s000) session and the Handling Unit Version Controlled check box in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session.

RFID during Shipping Applicable

The kanban signal ID mask specified in the current field is defaulted to the ID Mask field in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session.

If kanban signal ID masks are not specified in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session or in the current field, you cannot use kanban signals.

Note: You are advised to use a sequence number segment in the ID Mask to make sure that the kanban signal ID is a unique number.

Reuse Kanban Signals

If this check box is selected, kanban signals are reused after the supply orders are processed.

The setting of this check box is defaulted to the Reuse Kanban Signals in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session.

Use Zero-Usage Days for Average Daily Demand
