Alphanumeric, 1 position; optional.

Pickable

A code indicating whether inventory can be picked from the location.

• Selected - indicates that inventory can be picked from the location.

• Unselected - indicates that inventory cannot be picked from the location. Bulk locations, or locations where defective merchandise is kept are examples of non-pickable locations.

Note: Inventory Inquiry in Order Entry includes quantities in pickable locations only; all other inventory inquiries display pickable and non-pickable quantities.

Freeze

Indicates whether the location and its merchandise are frozen. Valid values are:

• Selected = The location is frozen.

• Unselected = The location not frozen.

If a location is frozen:

• Pick Slip Generation ignores the location when determining where inventory should be picked to fulfill an order. See Performing Pick Slip Generation.

• Suggest Location Placement (MSLO) ignores the location when suggesting where to place stock.

Hang/Flat

A code indicating how inventory is stored in the location. This field is informational only.

• Hanging = indicates that inventory in the location is hung.

• Flat = indicates that inventory in the location is laid flat, or is stored in a conventional manner.

• Other = indicates that inventory in stored in the location in some other manner.

Required.

Location type

The location type, which determines whether the location is permanent or temporary, and whether merchandise will be replenished to or from the location.

• Primary = The primary, or main locations from which items are picked. An item can be stored in more than one primary location.

• Secondary = Secondary locations are generally used for storage when the primary location is full.

If a secondary location is pickable, the system will allocate from it when the total order quantity cannot be filled (completely) from a primary location. The system will allocate from both the primary and secondary locations when neither location contains enough stock to fulfill the entire order.

Secondary locations can be used to replenish primary locations.

• Bulk = Bulk locations are additional storage locations that are generally used to store case lots or cartons that are not broken up at receiving.

If a bulk location is pickable, the system will allocate from it when the total order quantity cannot be filled (completely) from either a primary or secondary location. The system will allocate from primary, secondary and bulk locations when none of the locations contain enough stock to fulfill the entire order.

Bulk locations can be used to replenish primary locations.

• Temporary = Temporary locations are used to place merchandise that you want recognized as received, before a permanent location is assigned. A temporary location cannot exist without at least one item/location record associated with it. When stock is moved into a temporary location, the system creates an item/location record. When the on-hand in the item/location reaches zero, the system will delete the location and the item/location record.

Note: Order Management System will not allocate merchandise from a temporary location even if the location is defined as pickable. In order to allocate stock, you must move the merchandise to a non-temporary, pickable location.

Required.
