Defining Location Profile Information for Multiple Locations

Access the Enter Location Profile Information form.

Putaway Sequence

Enter a number that you assign to a location to determine its place in the putaway sequence. Putaway is the movement of inventory to storage after receipt. A sequence of locations describes the path that warehouse employees follow through the warehouse during movement tasks. You can specify in the Movement Instructions (P46095) whether the system uses the putaway sequence as a tiebreaker when there are multiple locations selected for putaway. For example, you can establish sequencing for the most efficient putaway routing.

Picking Sequence

Enter a number that you assign to a location to determine its place in the picking sequence. Picking is the movement of inventory from storage to satisfy an order. A sequence of locations describes the path that warehouse employees follow through the warehouse during movement tasks. You can specify in the Movement Instructions (P46095) whether the system uses the picking sequence as a tiebreaker when there are multiple locations selected to pick from. For example, you can establish sequencing for the most efficient pick routing.

Replenish Sequence

Enter a number that you assign to a location to determine its place in the replenishment sequence. Replenishment is the movement of inventory from storage locations to picking locations. A sequence of locations describes the path that warehouse employees follow through the warehouse during movement tasks. You can specify in the Movement Instructions (P46095) whether the system uses the replenishment sequence as a tiebreaker when there are multiple locations selected to replenish from. For example, you can establish sequencing for the most efficient replenishment routing.

Distance Latitude

Enter a value for the X or latitude coordinate of a location in the warehouse. The system can use latitude, longitude, and height as a tiebreaker when suggesting locations for putaway and picking.

Distance Longitude

Enter a value for the Y or longitude coordinate of a location in the warehouse. The system can use latitude, longitude, and height as a tiebreaker when suggesting locations for putaway and picking.

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.

Enter a number. If you leave the field blank (or zero), the system does not limit the number of different items in the location.
