Configuring Lock Codes

Lock Codes must be added at the Parent company level.

1. Make sure your current company view is at the Parent company.
   Note: the system will display an error if you try to configure lock codes at the child company level.
2. Go to the Inventory Lock Codesscreen.
3. Click the Create button.
4. Populate the applicable fields/flags.
   1. Allocatable: If checked, LPNs with this lock code are still eligible for order allocation.
   2. Unlock on locate to Reserve: If checked, LPNs with this lock code will have this lock code removed whenever it is located to a Reserve location (a location that does not have a lock code).
5. Click Save.

Adding a Lost Lock Code

Warehouses can have a lock code exclusively for lost items. WMS requires a separate configuration to differentiate a lost lock code from all other lock codes.

1. Go to the “Company Parameters” screen.
2. Edit the “LOST_LOCK_CODE” parameter. In the “Parameter Value” field, populate the lock code you wish to use as the lock code for lost LPNs.
3. Click “Save”.

Inventory Lock Codes UI Fields

The following table describes the purpose/intended use for the fields in the Inventory Lock Code UI:

Field	Description
Lock Code	Name of the lock code.
Description	Describes the location of the lock code.
Allocatable	If checked, LPNs with this lock code are still eligible for order allocation.
Unlock on locate to Reserve	If checked, LPNs with this lock code will have this lock code removed whenever it is located to a Reserve location (a location that does not have a lock code).
Treat as Attribute	Allows lock codes from the order detail to be populated onto the inventory attribute.
Allow Multiple Lock Codes	Allow multiple lock codes to be configured in the same location.
Generate Adjustments instead of Lock Code Records	When a lock has the treat as attribute flag selected, this allows you to write an inventory adjustment history record instead of the lock code record.
Allow Loading	Allow loading of inventory containing lock codes.
Allow Manifesting	Allow manifesting of inventory containing lock codes.
Prevent Putaway	Prevent putaway of inventory containing lock codes.
Copy to Transfer Shipment Flag	Allows you to set up lock codes for transfer shipments. When set to yes, WMS will copy the lock code from transfer lock code to the lock code column on the inbound shipment detail.
Prevent Direct Consume	Prevent direct consume of inventory containing lock codes.
Inventory Attribute Transfer Code	When Inventory attribute transfer code is configured along with Treat as Attribute, on locking the container instead of populating the lock code value in the attribute field we populate the value configured in the Inventory attribute transfer code as the attribute on the inventory.
ERP Bucket	Name of the specific location for the ERP Bucket.
Lock Code Priority	Determines the order/priority in which lock codes will be considered.
Remove Inherited Location Lock on Unlocate	When set to Yes: On exiting from the location, If the lock code on the LPN and Location lock code are the same, then the system removes the lock code. If LPN's Batch Lock Code (Batch Nbr lock code on the IBLPN screen) = Location Lock code, then the system does not remove the lock code. When set to No: LPN will have the same lock code (previous location) when the LPN is moved out of the location.
