  2. Defining Warehouse Specifications

Defining Warehouse Specifications

Access the Branch Location Definition form.

Separator Character

Enter a character that divides the elements of the location. For example, you might use a / as a separator character to divide elements such as aisle, bin, and shelf in a location code. Companies commonly use a "." as the separator character. Separators are not stored in the tables. However, the system uses separators to edit a location on a form or report. If you do not want to use separators, leave this field blank.

Aisle

Enter a number, 1 through 8, that identifies the number of characters to represent the tank (or aisle for packaged stock).

Specify whether the system should use left or right justification for the aisle format.

Bin

Enter a number, 1 through 8, that identifies the number of characters to represent the owner for commingled bulk stock (or bin for packaged stock).

Specify whether the system should use left or right justification for the bin format.

Code 3

Enter the number of characters to represent Code 3 in the location format specification. Specify whether the system should use left or right justification.

Access Warehouse Control

Request Inclusion Version

Enter a user-defined code (UDC) (40/RV) that identifies an inclusion rule the system uses for this branch/plant. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing and Warehouse Management systems use inclusion rules as follows:

  • For Manufacturing:

    Enables multiple versions of resource rules for running MPS, MRP, or DRP.

  • For Warehouse Management:

    Enables multiple versions of inclusion rules for running putaway and picking. The system processes only those order lines that match the inclusion rule for a specified branch/plant. You use the inclusion rule to define the orders for which to create requests based on the next status code that is assigned to the order.

Dimension Unit of Measure

Enter a UDC (00/UM) that identifies the unit of measure that the system uses to display dimensions for the warehouse. The system provides the ability to establish inches, centimeters, meters, and so forth, as a measuring standard.

Volume Display UOM

Enter a UDC (00/UM) that identifies the unit of measure that the system uses to display volume for this branch/plant. The system inputs a value in this field from Branch/Plant Constants - Page 2 (P41001). You can override this default value.

Weight Display UOM

Enter a UDC (00/UM) that identifies the unit of measure that the system uses to indicate weight for this item. You can specify ounces, grams, kilograms, and so on, as weight standards. The system uses this unit of measure for the item or overrides it for an individual item or container.

Receiving Location

The area in the warehouse where you receive inventory. The format of the location is user-defined and you enter the location format for each branch/plant.

Shipping Location

The location that the system uses as the default location when you pick inventory and move the inventory for shipping. The format of the location is user-defined by branch/plant (P41001).
