Creating a new static dock set

You can create static dock sets. A static dock set is a set of rules that define a permanent dock location assignment based on the order attributes.

To create a new static dock set:

  1. Within the facility level, select Outbound > Dock Assignments > Static Dock Sets. The Static Dock Sets list view displays.
  2. Click New. The Static Dock Sets screen displays with header fields on the top portion of the screen and detail fields on the bottom portion of the screen.
  3. Specify the header information:
    Static Dock Set
    Identifying name of the static dock set.
    Description
    Description of the static dock set.
    Notes
    Specific notes pertaining to the static dock set (optional field).
  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 static dock set incremented by 10. Note that the step number is important because steps are processed in sequence order. You should place the most specific steps at the top of the list (lower sequence numbers) to ensure that the most specific matches are processed before less specific matches.
    Door, Stage, and Packing locations
    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.
    Order attributes
    Specify or click the lookup icon and select values for one or more of the Order attribute fields. Note that you must specify or select a value for at least one of the order fields.
    Active
    Select the Active checkbox if you want the detail to be active immediately.
    Notes
    Specify any notes pertaining to the step if applicable.
  5. Click Save. The new static dock set is created and the first step of the dock set displays in the Detail list on the bottom portion of the screen.
    • If you want to create another step for the static dock set, click the New button in the details (bottom) area of the screen.
    • If you want to delete a static dock set step, click the checkbox next to the step within the list you want to delete and click the Delete button in the details (bottom) area of the screen.
