Creating equipment profiles

An equipment profile identifies each piece of equipment used in the facility and determines any restrictions associated with the equipment. You can exclude an equipment profile from certain zones. For example, a piece of equipment might be unable to access the zone due to size or weight.

To create an equipment profile:

  1. Select Configuration > Productivity > Equipment. The Equipment list view is displayed.
    Note:  The Import and Export selections are available in the Equipment list view. In addition to the functionality defined in the Infor WMS Introduction and Navigation User Guide, the import and export features within the Equipment list view have been expanded.
    • You can click Import to import Microsoft Excel data to either create new records or update existing records. Infor WMS validates the field values before either new records are inserted or existing records are updated. If a validation fails, the import log record indicates the error file.
    • When you click Export, both header and detail data are exported to a Microsoft Excel file. As in other existing areas within Infor WMS, the header and detail values are exported to separate tabs in the Excel file.
  2. Click New to access the Equipment Profile detail view.
