Location Format Specification

Select the Location Format Specification tab.

Separator Character

Enter a character that divides the elements of the location when the system displays them on forms or reports. For example, you can use a / as a separator character to divide elements such as aisle, bin, and shelf in a location code.

The location code can contain up to 20 characters, including separators.

The system does not store separators in the tables, but uses them to edit a location on a form or report. If you do not want to use separators, leave this field blank.

However, you must enter characters and spaces to equal the correct length of each element in the location code. The system then displays the location as one string of characters.

The system uses the character that you enter in this field to separate the combination of tank and owner and aisle and bin as it appears on forms or reports.

Companies commonly use a "." (period) as the separator character.

Aisle

Enter a number that identifies the number of characters to represent the tank (or aisle for packaged stock). Values are numbers 1 through 8.

Bin

Enter a number that identifies the number of characters to represent the owner for commingled bulk stock (or bin for packaged stock). Values are numbers 1 through 8.

Code 3 through Code 10

Enter the number of characters to represent codes 3 through 10, respectively, in the location format specification.

Left/Right

Select either the L or R option to determine the justification or alignment (left or right) for each element that you use to define the location format.
