Creating and Maintaining Location Classes (WLCL)

Purpose: You can use the Work with Location Class Screen to create, change, delete, or display warehouse location class information. Location classes are used to identify the type of merchandise that will be assigned to the location, such as jewelry, high-ticket items, fragile items and hazardous items.

Use of location class: During Receiving Purchase Orders (PORC) and Performing Inventory Transactions, the system will verify that the item is being placed in a location that has the same location class as specified in the Loc class (Location class) field for the item. During Pick Slip Generation, the system will print separate pick slips for each location class. For example, if an order contains two items, each assigned to a different location class (e.g. electronics and jewelry), two pick slips will be printed for the order. You can also select picks to print based on location class assigned to the item or SKU.

Location classes are assigned to items in the Item File. Location classes are assigned to SKUs in the Pick SKU Location Class file. Location classes are assigned to locations in the Location File. Use of location classes is optional.
