FIFO

FIFO

Enter a value to indicate whether the system considers an item's receipt date when it searches for pick locations. Values are:

Y: Yes, use the oldest receipt date (First In First Out method) when searching for pick locations

N: No, do not use the oldest receipt date when searching for pick locations

When you set this field to Y (yes), this setting overrides the tiebreaker rule.

Min Pick (minimum pick)

Enter a value to indicate whether the system suggests a location if picking does not deplete that location to at least the minimum percentage capacity defined through Location Profile Detail (P460201). Values are:

Y: Yes, use the minimum utilization percentage when searching for pick locations.

N: No, do not use the minimum utilization percentage when searching for pick locations.

Order Group

Enter a UDC (46/DT) that identifies a group of order types to process as one for putaway, picking, and replenishment transactions.

You set up order group codes on User-defined Codes, then add order types to the code on Order Groups (P46092). You specify an order group on Picking Instructions (P46095) to limit the order types that trigger replenishment after picking.

Picking Process Mode

Enter a UDC (46/PC) that identifies a picking processing method. Valid are:

P: Productivity mode. The system suggests the fewest locations possible to minimize the number of putaway and picking trips. The system minimizes the number of replenishment trips by replenishing from the fewest locations possible.

S: Space maximization mode. The system maximizes space use by trying to top off partially filled locations to minimize inventory fragmentation.

Picking Table

Enter a UDC (46/IT) that identifies a picking table. The picking table defines how the system selects locations for picking. You create picking tables using Picking Instructions (P46095).

Proc Mode (process mode)

Enter a UDC (46/PC) that determines the putaway processing method. Values are:

P: Productivity mode. The system suggests the fewest locations possible to minimize the number of putaway and picking trips.

S: Space maximization mode. The system maximizes the use of space by trying to top off partially filled locations. This mode also minimizes inventory fragmentation.

Putaway Process Mode

Enter a UDC (46/PC) that determines the putaway processing method. Values are:

P: Productivity mode. The system suggests the fewest locations possible to minimize the number of putaway and picking trips.

S: Space maximization mode. The system maximizes the use of space by trying to top off partially filled locations. This mode also minimizes inventory fragmentation.

Putaway Table

Enter a UDC (46/IT) that identifies a putaway table. The putaway table defines how the system selects locations for putaway. You create putaway tables using Putaway Instructions (P46095).

Replenishment Process Mode

Enter a UDC (46/PC) that identifies a replenishment processing method. Valid are:

P: Productivity mode. The system suggests the fewest locations possible to minimize the number of putaway and picking trips. The system minimizes the number of replenishment trips by replenishing from the fewest locations possible.

S: Space maximization mode. The system maximizes space use by attempting to top off partially filled locations to minimize inventory fragmentation.

Replenishment Table

Enter a UDC (46/IT) that identifies a replenishment table. The replenishment table defines how the system selects locations for replenishment. You create replenishment tables using Replenishment Instructions (P46095).

RU (roll-up)

Enter a value to indicate whether you allow roll-up during picking. Values are:

Y: Allow roll-up.

N: Do not allow roll-up.

Warehouse Process Group 1

Enter a user-defined code (UDC) (41/02) that identifies a group of items for movement purposes. A process group determines what movement instructions the system uses for putaway, picking, and replenishment.

Warehouse Process Group 2

Enter a UDC (41/02) that identifies a group of items for movement purposes. A process group determines what movement instructions the system uses for putaway, picking, and replenishment.

Warehouse Process Group 3

Enter a UDC (41/02) that identifies a group of items for movement purposes. A process group determines what movement instructions the system uses for putaway, picking, and replenishment.
