Item file maintenance, Units & location size (WMR00901)

Options

Activate

Select this option to activate the location sizes you have marked.

Function keys

Activate all normal	Activate all location sizes for those which are normal locations (not bulk locations). The Min. loc. capacity and Max. loc. capacity fields on the Warehouse management panel determine the range of valid stock capacities for the location sizes. The system changes the status to active for all valid location sizes. It also selects the best orientation per location size. Note: The orientation with the largest stock capacity is the chosen one (see the next Units & location size panel). If more than one orientation column contains the same (largest) value, then the first column containing this is selected.
Activate all bulk	Activate all bulk location sizes.
Activate all marked	Activate all location sizes that you have marked.

Selection fields

Item: Displays the item with which you are working.

Unit of measure: Displays a code from Work with warehouse location units of measure, but can be changed.

Size: This column lists the existing location size codes from Work with warehouse location sizes.

Description: This column lists the descriptions of the location size codes.

Stock capacity: Displays the maximum quantity of this item that can be stored in a location defined with this location size.

Status: Indicates if an item/location size relationship has been selected, i.e. it is activated.

On this panel you select a valid orientation and maintain the stock capacity for the Item/Unit of measure/Location size. The Stock capacity amount per orientation (depicted in the 6 columns on the bottom of the panel) is automatically calculated per stock unit.

Note: This panel is used when you want to manually select a valid orientation. You can, alternatively, let the system choose the valid (best) orientation by clicking Activate all normal on the previous panel. Note: If you store the item in another unit than the stock unit, the calculation must be done manually.

The output fields in the middle of the panel depict how you can store the item in the location according to the valid orientation (rotation):

Location width, depth, height: These are the actual values defined in Work with warehouse location sizes. They are the location measurements used to calculate the valid stock capacities according to the different orientation.
Location dimension 1-3: These are the actual dimensions for the item/unit of measure (and selected location size). These figures are calculated together with the location measurements to indicate how many items (stock capacity) are allowed in the location. You use the Select fields on the bottom of the panel to select which orientation you want to be valid.

You enter any character in the one position input field adjacent to the Select field to select the orientation to be valid. Upon return to this panel, an asterisk (*) will appear in the selected orientation and the Stock capacity field will default with the stock capacity for the orientation selected. You can always change the stock capacity.

Example:

The location and item in this example have the following measures:

*Location values*	*Dimensions*
Location width = 180	Dimension 1 = 40
Location depth = 100	Dimension 2 = 50
Location height = 150	Dimension 3 = 20

The system has calculated the following capacity values for the item in this location:

Select	*	_	_	_	_	_
Width	1	1	2	2	3	3
Depth	2	3	1	3	1	2
Height	3	2	3	1	2	1
Valid	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
St cap	56	60	42	45	54	54

The first column depicts the following item measurements:
Width = 40, Depth = 50, Height = 20
(If this item were a box, then these first column measurements are when the box is lying down).

The second column depicts the following item measurements:
Width = 40, Depth = 20, Height = 50
(If this item were a box, then it would be standing up).

Note: The figures in the six columns for Width, Depth and Height are system defined, allowing you to have multiple orientations.

Location size: Displays the selected location size.

Stock capacity

Enter the maximum quantity of this item that can be stored in a location defined with this location size. The stock capacity will be used for replenishments, put away, etc. It is possible to put a quantity which exceeds the maximum into a location, but it will never be suggested by IBS Warehouse Management.

Note: It is important that this quantity be kept accurate as statistical fields in Work with warehouse locations are updated. For example, the Free capacity (available free space) in a location will be determined by the quantity in this field. Other statistical fields updated in that program are the Utilised capacity % and Allocated capacity % (which are factors used in calculating the Average utilisation location % and Average utilisation reserved %).

If the stock capacity is changed, then the utilised capacity for all locations where this item exists will be automatically updated.

Preferred capacity

Enter the maximum desired quantity of this item that should be suggested for put away to locations of this size. The preferred capacity is used for goods reception put away.

Note: It is possible to put a quantity that exceeds the preferred quantity into a location, but it will never be suggested by IBS Warehouse Management. The preferred capacity can never exceed the stock capacity.

If you leave this field blank, then it will be assumed that the preferred capacity is the same as the stock capacity.

Pallet type: Only shown if the default pallet type is assigned for the item and this pallet type is assigned to the actual location size. Displays the default pallet type to be used when pallets are automatically created.

Quantity in pallet: Only shown if the default pallet type is assigned for the item and this pallet type is assigned to the actual location size. Displays the number of stock units in the default pallet.

Pallet capacity: Only shown if the default pallet type is assigned for the item and this pallet type is assigned to the actual location size. Displays the pallet capacity from pallet type/location size assignments.

Stock unit capacity: Only shown if the default pallet type is assigned for the item and this pallet type is assigned to the actual location size. Displays the calculated capacity in stock units based on pallet definitions.

Select: Enter any character in the one position input field to select the orientation you want to be valid for this Item/Unit of measure/Location size. Upon return to this panel, an asterisk (*) will appear in the selected orientation and the Stock capacity field will default with the stock capacity for the orientation selected. You can always change the stock capacity.
