Calculating Storage Billing by Cube for Locations

Typically, on running this schedule job, the system determines the storage volume for each item per location and the corresponding IHT records os written. During the execution, the scheduled job checks for the inventory to determine all the available location types. Now, in case of volume, the scheduled job checks for the dimensions for cases/packs first and then units.

The following explains the sequential flow:

• If the standard case quantity is populated for an item, then the standard case LxWxH is used for computing the volume. The total inventory for the item times standard case LxWxH.
• If the standard case quantity is not populated for an item or any of the item's standard case LxWxH is not populated, then items' std pack and pack LxWxH will be used.
• If the standard pack quantity for an item is not populated or any of the item's standard pack LxWxH is not populated, then items' unit LxWxH will be used in computing the volume.
• IHT-79 will be written for each item/location combination irrespective of batch/attributes/expiry date. Orig_Qty on the IHT will contain the volume computed above.

Note: Currently, WMS does not have UOM associated for dimensions. The value entered is assumed to be in same dimensions, the system does not perform UOM conversions as part of this job.
