Defining Location Dimensions
Access the Location Dimension 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.
Access the Usable Cubic Dimensions section:
- Width
Enter the available storage width of the location(s) defined within the location dimension group. The system uses this width only if you use one of two capacity methods to select a putaway location for an item:
Volume checking (where the system compares the volume of the item to the usable volume of a putaway location)
Layering (where the system compares the length, width, and depth of an item to the usable length, width, and depth of a putaway location)
The system uses the values that you enter for gross width, gross depth, and gross height as default values for the Usable Cubic Dimensions section of the form unless you enter new values.
- Depth
Enter the available storage depth of the location(s) defined within the location dimension group. The system uses this depth only if you use one of two capacity methods to select a putaway location for an item:
Volume checking (where the system compares the volume of the item to the usable volume of a putaway location)
Layering (where the system compares the length, width, and depth of an item to the usable length, width, and depth of a putaway location)
The system uses the values that you enter for gross width, gross depth, and gross height as default values for the Usable Cubic Dimensions section of the form unless you enter new values.
- Height
Enter the available storage height of the location(s) defined within the location dimension group. The system uses this height only if you use one of two capacity methods to select a putaway location for an item:
Volume checking (where the system compares the volume of the item to the usable volume of a putaway location)
Layering (where the system compares the length, width, and depth of an item to the usable length, width, and depth of a putaway location)
The system uses the values that you enter for gross width, gross depth, and gross height as default values for the Usable Cubic Dimensions section of the form unless you enter new values.
- Maximum Weight
Enter a number that indicates the maximum weight that is allowed for this location.
