WHS0070

Location Types Maintenance (WHS0070) The Location Types screen is used to build the locations within the system.  Here the user specifies what kind of location is in each aisle.  For example, some racking maybe narrower in certain sections, meaning the number of pallets allowed in each bay is reduced.  To make this clear, a different location type would be assigned to each location.  For each location type, the maximum number of pallets and the type of pallet allowed is then given to each location type.  The user can then assign a priority to when using auto-putaway, the system uses priority 1, then 2 etc.

Note:

• In order to use the pallet details tab, the user must enter 'Y' in the Pallet Storage field. Entering 'N' will cause the location type to be seen as non-palletised and therefore not use-able for any stock stored on a pallet.
• The maximum storage is the number of pallets allowed in that location. For auto-putaway, the system will stop using that location once this maximum storage quantity has been exceeded.
• The Location Truck types are required to define the access of trucks to this location type, for use within the WCS.
