Setting Up Item Profiles

Access the Item Profile Revisions form.

Overflow Location

Enter a code that identifies the location that the system uses when an item cannot fit into the suggested putaway locations. You can monitor movement suggestions for the overflow location by accessing the audit report (P46175) or by inquiring on the location detail (F4602).

Variance Location

Enter a code that identifies the location that the system uses when you confirm a smaller quantity than the suggested quantity during putaway confirmation. You do this through Change/Split Suggestion during putaway confirmation, where you enter a quantity that is smaller than the suggested quantity, and confirm with a variance to the suggested quantity. The system places the variance (remaining) quantity in the variance location.

Holding Location

Enter a code that identifies the location that the system uses when you confirm a larger quantity than the suggested pick quantity during pick confirmation. You do this through Change/Split Suggestion during pick confirmation, where you enter a quantity that is greater than the suggested quantity, and confirm with a variance to the suggested quantity. The system places the variance (extra) quantity in the holding location.

Base Putaway Location

Enter a code that identifies the base putaway location that the system uses to calculate proximity when you specify proximity as the tiebreaker in a putaway instruction. If you use a tiebreaker that sequences locations according to proximity, the system ranks the locations based on their distance from this base putaway location. The system calculates distance based on the coordinates (longitude, latitude, and height) you defined in the location profile (P46020).

Base Picking Location

Enter a code that identifies the base picking location that the system uses to calculate proximity when you specify proximity as the tiebreaker in a picking instruction. If you use a tiebreaker that sequences locations according to proximity, the system ranks the locations based on their distance from this base picking location. The system calculates distance based on the coordinates (longitude, latitude, and height) you defined in the location profile (P46020).

1 or 2 Phase Putaway

Enter a UDC (H46/PT) that indicates whether you use 1- or 2-phase confirmation during putaway.

  • 1-phase confirmation means the process is confirmed as one step after goods have moved from the starting location to the destination location.

  • 2-phase confirmation means the process is confirmed in two steps: the first when the goods have moved from the starting location to the staging location, and the second when the goods have moved from the staging location to the destination location.

If you use 2-phase confirmation, you can specify whether the confirmation is logical or physical.

  • Logical 2-phase confirmation generates one document and does not indicate physical movement to the staging location.

  • Physical 2-phase confirmation generates two documents: the first indicates movement from the starting location to the staging location, and the second indicates movement from the staging location to the destination location.

Values are:

I: Use 1-phase confirmation

L: Use logical 2-phase confirmation

P: Use physical 2-phase confirmation

1 or 2 Phase Picking

Enter a UDC (H46/PK) that indicates whether you use 1- or 2-phase confirmation during picking.

  • 1-phase confirmation means the process is confirmed as one step after goods have moved from the starting location to the destination location.

  • 2-phase confirmation means the process is confirmed in two steps: the first when the goods have moved from the starting location to the staging location, and the second when the goods have moved from the staging location to the destination location.

If you use 2-phase confirmation, you can specify whether the confirmation is logical or physical.

  • Logical 2-phase confirmation generates one document and does not indicate physical movement to the staging location.

  • Physical 2-phase confirmation generates two documents: the first indicates movement from the starting location to the staging location, and the second indicates movement from the staging location to the destination location.

Values are:

I: Use 1-phase confirmation

L: Use logical 2-phase confirmation

P: Use physical 2-phase confirmation

1 or 2 Phase Replenishment

Enter a UDC (H46/RP) that indicates whether you use 1- or 2-phase confirmation during replenishment.

  • 1-phase confirmation means the process is confirmed as one step after goods have moved from the starting location to the destination location.

  • 2-phase confirmation means the process is confirmed in two steps: the first when the goods have moved from the starting location to the staging location, and the second when the goods have moved from the staging location to the destination location.

If you use 2-phase confirmation, you can specify whether the confirmation is logical or physical.

  • Logical 2-phase confirmation generates one document and does not indicate physical movement to the staging location.

  • Physical 2-phase confirmation generates two documents: the first indicates movement from the starting location to the staging location, and the second indicates movement from the staging location to the destination location.

Values are:

I: Use 1-phase confirmation

L: Use logical 2-phase confirmation

P: Use physical 2-phase confirmation

Mix Items (Y/N)

Select to indicate you want the system to store different items in the same location.

Mix Dates/Lots (Y/N)

Select to indicate you want the system to assign items to a 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.

Split Lines (Y/N)

Select to indicate the system can split a purchase order line when you create a putaway suggestion for the order line.
