The Advanced Warehouse Management system calculates each item's volume and weight to select a location during putaway. The system bases all volume and weight calculations on the Level 1 (largest) unit of measure and stores the resulting values in the Item Unit of Measure Profile table (F46011).
The system calculates item dimensions and weight for:
Complete units of measure
Partial units of measure
The system also performs calculations for:
Items with storage containers
Items without storage containers
Item | Calculation |
---|---|
Items with Storage Containers | Total Weight = (Gross Weight + Container Weight) x Quantity |
Items without Storage Containers | Total Weight = Gross Weight x Quantity |
Item | Calculation |
---|---|
Items with Open Storage Containers | Total Volume = Width x Depth x Height of the container or the items' collective dimensions, whichever is greater |
Items with Closed Storage Containers | Total Volume = Width x Depth x Height of the container |
Items without Storage Containers | Total Volume = Gross Volume x Quantity |
