Creating a new dynamic dock set

You can create dynamic dock sets. A dynamic dock set is a rotating list of dock locations assigned in a series.

To create a new dynamic dock set:

  1. Within the facility level, select Outbound > Dock Assignments > Dynamic Dock Sets. The Dynamic Dock Sets list view displays.
  2. Click New. The Dynamic Dock Sets screen displays with header fields on the top portion of the screen and detail fields on the bottom portion of the screen.

  4. Specify the detail information for the first step:
    Step Number
    Sequence number of the step. You can specify a step number or keep the displayed default value. Initial default step number value is 10 with each new step added for the dynamic dock set incremented by 10. Note that the step number is important because steps are processed in sequence order. The locations specified on the first step are assigned first, the locations specified on the second step are assigned next, etc. After the final step, the process starts again with the first step.

    Specify the door, stage, and packing locations, or click the lookup icon and select the applicable location. Note that you must specify or select a value for at least one of the location fields.
