Alternate Putaway Suggestions

You can create alternate putaway suggestions if you do not agree with the system's suggestions for putaway locations. You create alternate suggestions you set the Resuggest processing option on the Location Selection Driver program (R46171) for other suggestions.

Creating alternate suggestions replaces any previous location suggestions. With alternate suggestions, you can access new inventory locations that you might have added since you created the first suggestions.

If you have not changed inventory locations in the warehouse, and you want to create suggestions for locations that differ from previous suggested locations, you must change the putaway instructions table. For example, you could change the putaway instructions table to select a new putaway zone or use a different tiebreaker rule to select locations. If you do not change the putaway instructions, process selection, fixed locations, max or min quantities/percentages, the Location Selection Driver program suggests the same locations as in the previous suggestions.

When you run the Location Selection Driver program, the system can:

• Delete existing putaway suggestions and reset the commitments caused by or related to the original suggestions in the F41021 and F4602/F46L12.

• Reset each request's status in the Warehouse Requests table (F4600).

• Create alternate putaway location movement suggestions.

You control which functions the system performs by setting processing options in the Location Selection Driver program (R46171).
