Defining Location Profile Information for a Single Location

Access the Location Profile Revisions form.

Level of Detail

Enter a code that summarizes or classifies locations and provides a hierarchy of locations for review purposes. For example, you can assign aisles to level 2, and individual bins within the aisle as level 3.

Freeze Rule

Enter a code (H46/HR) that indicates what putaway restrictions you want to place on a location during the pick process. Values are:

Leave blank and the system does not perform any automatic restrictions.

Enter 1: to freeze when empty. Do not put away to this location after you pick the location empty.

Enter 2: to freeze when picked (auto reset). Do not put away to this location after picking. When you pick the location empty, the system automatically resets the putaway flag to allow putaway to this location.

Enter 3: to freeze when picked (manual reset). Do not put away to this location after picking. When you pick the location empty, you must manually reset the putaway flag to allow putaway to this location.

Maximum Items

Enter a number from 1 to 99 that specifies the maximum number of different items that can be stored in this location simultaneously.

If you leave the field blank or enter 0, the system does not limit the number of different items in the location.

Tax Code

Enter a code (46/LT) that indicates whether the location contains tax-paid inventory (in-bond versus duty paid). If an item has an assigned tax code, the system puts the item away only in locations with the same tax code.

You assign tax codes to items through Item Profile (P46010).

Minimum Put Percent (minimum putaway percentage)

Enter the minimum percentage of the total location capacity the system uses during putaway. You specify a minimum putaway percentage when you want an item to fill at least this percentage of an empty putaway location.

Minimum Pick Percent (minimum pick percentage)

Enter the minimum percentage of the total location capacity the system uses during picking. If you use this minimum percentage, the system first determines how many of the items fit in the location. It divides the quantity of the item being picked by the maximum quantity that fits in the location and compares the result to the minimum pick percentage. The system performs this check only if you defined the pick movement instructions to have the system do so.

Verification Code

Enter a two-character code that uniquely identifies a location. The Movement Confirmations program uses the code that you enter to verify that the system used the correct location during putaway or picking.

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.

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.

Characteristics Group

Enter a code (46/LC) that identifies a group of locations that share the same characteristics. A location characteristics group defines the characteristics for all locations that belong to the group. After you set up a location characteristics group, you can assign locations to the group through Location Characteristics (P46021).

Staging Locn (staging location)

Select to indicate the location is a staging location, where you hold items temporarily before moving them somewhere else. Staging locations (such as the receiving and shipping docks) do not require a group definition for dimensions, volume, or weight, because they have unlimited capacity. Clear to indicate this location is not a staging location.

Recommend Crtn (recommend cartons)

Select to have the system recommend shipping cartons when picking from this location. The system recommends a carton only if you have set up the Carton Recommendation Method for the item. Clear and the system does not make carton recommendations when picking from this location.

Mix Containers

Select to indicate you want to allow multiple types of storage containers for an item to be stored in the location. Clear to indicate you do not allow multiple types of containers in this location

You can also set up the item profile to allow mixing of containers.

You use Allowed Containers (P46026) to define which containers are allowed in the location.

Mix Dates

Select to indicate you want the system to store items with different receipt dates in the same location. Clear to indicate you do not store items with different receipt dates in the same location.

You must set up the location profile and the item profile in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management system to allow the mixing of dates.

Allow Putaway

Select to indicate the location is valid for putaway selection. Clear to indicate the location is not valid for putaway.

Allow Pick

Select to indicate this location is valid for picking. Clear to indicate this location is not valid for picking.

Allow Replenish

Select to indicate you allow replenishment from a location. Clear to indicate that you do not allow replenishment from a location.
