Filter

Use filter options to show specific attributes and characteristics of various locations in the facility. The search option includes these filters:

• Level: The level filter option is set to show only that level in the section of the facility that is currently being displayed. Selecting a level from the list displays only the locations that have the same level attribute. Locations that do not share the same level attribute are removed from the display or shown with a ghosting effect. The location table attribute of location level, loclevel, is necessary to enable the filter to display the corresponding locations.
• Empty: Either separately or in addition to the level selection, you can select the check box to display empty locations. When the check box is selected, all occupied locations in the facility are removed; only the empty locations are shown. If you use the Empty selection in combination with other options, only empty locations, with a specific level attribute or other shared attribute based on previous or subsequent menu selections, are displayed. The skuxloc table correlates inventory to locations and is used extensively in the implementation of this filter and the displayed location results.
• Task Type: Use the task filter to show locations in the facility that are the source location for the type of task the user selects. For example, locations that contain a dynamic pick are displayed while locations that do not have that type of command are displayed with a ghosting effect. This information is calculated from the task detail table.
• Task Priority: The priority filter further refines the type of command, limiting it to only the locations with commands that have a specific priority value. The task detail values are required to accurately display these locations in the facility.
• Inventory - Owner, Item, Lot, LPN: Using the inventory filter, the display changes from the current locations shown on the screen to only the locations that contain an item with a specific owner, item number, lot attribute, or license plate number (LPN) based on which fields and values are specified.
• Inventory – Hold: Similar to the owner, item, lot, and LPN inventory attributes, you can use the inventory hold filter to show inventory that contains a hold attribute that matches any of the values selected from the list. If you select a hold code to be included by selecting the corresponding check box; included hold codes are indicated with a check mark. Unlike the other task, level and inventory attributes which are limited to a single attribute value selected from the list, you can select any number or combination of hold attributes by selecting the check box next to the hold code.
