Elements

You can use up to 10 elements to define the location. These elements consist of aisle, bin, and location codes 03 through 10. Each element can consist of either alphabetic characters or numbers. You cannot combine numbers and letters in a single element. You can, however, use multiple elements, some consisting of numbers (such as aisles) and some consisting of letters (such as bins).

The system completes the spaces that precede the elements with either blank spaces or zeros, depending on the business requirements. Some bar code readers do not correctly process blank spaces. To precede elements with zeros, you must specify on the Speed Location Maintenance Revisions form that the system completes the leading spaces with zeros. If you activated location segment control in the Branch/Plant Constants program (P41001) and are using the address book numbers to validate the new locations, then the system creates locations that do not contain zeros.
