Create Stock Location Zone in a Warehouse

…whether a volume calculation should be performed for the locations within the area at deliveries and receipts. This is used for stored goods that are appropriate for volume calculation. The valid alternatives are:

0=No

1=Yes

...how the weight check is used for this stock zone. The check function acts as a warning. The valid alternatives are:

0 = No check

1 = For each location and horizontal axis

2 = For each location and vertical axis

3 = For each location and both axes as well as stock zone check

…how to define the maximum or minimum position for weight control per stock zone. The information is used to define the number of positions and where they are positioned in the location identity as the first part of the weight limitation identity.

This value is used to update valid weight controls by the current weight during stock movements.

For example, that a location is named (AF0302) means:

AF = shelf entrance

03 = horizontal axis

02 = vertical axis

…if, for each stock zone, a freight container must be entered upon put-away. The valid alternatives are:

0 = No

1=Yes

…how to calculate weight stored on a defined vertical axis for each weight limitation identity. The vertical axis from and to position is entered for each stock zone.

Note that the location identities must be logically constructed for positions so that the vertical axis is always in the same position within the stock zone.

....the sorting order on picking lists created by location movements entered manually. The valid alternatives are:

1 = By location

2 = By transportation flow stated on each location record in 'Stock Location. Open' (MMS010).

Manual entry of location movement is performed by program 'Movement. Change Loc - Item' (MMS175) moving a single balance ID to a new location, or 'Movement. Change Location – All Items' (MMS180) moving all balance IDs from one location to a new location.

…if the filling rate should be calculated at the locations within the zone for incoming/outgoing deliveries. The valid values are:

0 = No

1 = Yes

The calculation gives the current filling rate, which shows the percentage of the location's maximum quantity being used. The rate is calculated as the sum of the filling rate for each balance identity that is stored at the location. This field is only activated in Purchase Order Processing.

…whether two-step put-away is activated. This activation occurs in two places in the stock zone, and in the goods receiving method or order type.) Both these places must have this field active for two-step put-away. (For purchase orders, the activation is in goods receiving method. For manufacturing orders and DO/RO orders, it is in the respective order types). The valid alternatives are:

0=No

1= Yes

...which printer is to be used when printing picking lists for this stock zone. Enter a printer name or one of the following alternatives:

*SYSVAL = The printer to be used according to the system value.

*JOB = The printer associated with the job creating the printout.

Mandatory information.

…a team ID. A picking team has several pickers, each defined as a user in 'User. Open' (MNS150), and can be connected to a stock zone. In this way the picking team is connected to picking lists and put-away tasks created for that zone.

The picking team for picking lists can be changed in 'Picking List. Plan Pickers' (MWS415), but only before the picking list is printed. The picking team for put-away tasks can be changed in 'Pending Put-Away. Process' (MWS460).

…whether the location check code should be validated at put-away confirmation.

The valid alternatives are:

1 = No validation.

2 = Location check code must be validated. Whenever a check code exists for a location, it must be entered at put-away confirmation in (MWS460/A).

…whether the location check code should be validated at picking list reporting.

The valid alternatives are:

1 = No validation.

2 = Location check code must be validated. Whenever a check code exists for a location, it must be entered at picking list reporting, in 'Picking List. Report' (MWS420/A) and 'Picking List. Report Lines' (MWS422/E).
