Defining Location Capacity

Access the Location Capacity Revisions form.

Loc. Dimension Group (location dimension group)

Enter a code (46/LD) that identifies a group of locations that share the same dimensions. A location dimension group defines the dimensions for all locations that belong to the group. After you set up a location dimension group, you can assign locations to the group through Location Profile Revisions (P46020).

You must define location dimensions if you plan to use volume-based putaway.

Item Dim Grp (item dimension group)

Enter a code (41/01) that identifies a group of items that share the same dimensions. An item dimension group defines the dimensions for all items that belong to the group. After you set up an item dimension group, you can assign items to the group through Classification Codes (P4101).

UOM (unit of measure)

Enter a UDC (00/UM) that indicates the quantity in which to express an inventory item, for example, CS (case) or BX (box).

Container Code

Enter a code (46/EQ) that identifies a storage container or a shipping carton. A storage container can be an open container where items are stored on the container (for example, a pallet), or a closed container where items are stored in the container (for example, a box). You use the Container and Carton Codes program (P46091) to define storage containers.

Maximum Capacity

Enter the maximum of an item or item dimension group that can fit in the specified location dimension group. You can also define a storage container to limit the quantity.
