Location Types

• Stock site (field STOFCY)

Enter or select the storage site where the selected product is active.

The Selection icon (magnifying glass) only suggests products that are referenced in the products-sites table.

• Location type (field LOCTYP)

The location types are used to codify the warehouse locations according to their storage characteristics: size, authorized statuses, technical constraints etc.
They are associated with the products by site, and are used in this way to geographically group the products with similar characteristics.
According to the stock transaction parameterization, the location type for the product is proposed by default and can be modified in the transaction entries.

• Description (field TYPDESAXX)

This long description is used as a title in screens and reports.

By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function:

• Click Translation from the Actions icon in the corresponding field.
• In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.

The connection language must be defined as a default language for thefolder.

• Short description (field TYPSHOAXX)

Short title used in the screens and reports. This title is recorded in your connection language.

By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function:

• Click Translation from the Actions icon in the corresponding field.
• In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.

The connection language must be defined as a default language for thefolder.

• Location category (field LOCCAT)

Specify the location type category.

• Single-product (field MONITMFLG)

Tick if this location type must be occupied by a single product reference.

• Dedicated (field DEDFLG)

Tick if products must be assigned to this type of location.

The non-assigned locations are not usable.

• Replenish (field REAFLG)

This flag is used to define whether or not to select reorder locations.

• Capacity managed (field FILMGTFLG)

Tick if the dynamic location management has to fill each location on a first-unit-used basis.

• Authorized substatuses (field AUZSST)

Specify the authorized sub-statuses.

• Location format (field LOCNUMFMT)

Format of the location number
'A' = warehouse 'B' = zone 'C' = sequence 'D' = scale 'E' = level 'F' = rack 'G' = cavity
Each letter is optional, it can be repeated but it is necessary to respect an ascending order of weights.
For instance: AAABEFF = 3 characters for the warehouse 1 character for the area 1 character for the level and 2 characters for the rack.
It is used during the location creation that can be carried out in mass between two location ranges.
The "Stock at business partner" storage mode does not follow this codification of locations. The format is forced to 10 alphabetical characters in free entry. The tabs are created one by one.

• Proposal sequence (field PPSSEQ)

Proposal sequence
The proposal sequence is used to assign the free locations on stock receipt in an order other than the alphanumeric format of the location, specifically where the storage method is dynamic.
For instance: If the filling criterion gives the priority to storage in the order of the lowest level in the warehouse, the priority sequence can be AAAEBFF for a location format AAABEFF.
The locations are then proposed in the following order: 1 warehouse AAA 2 level E 3 zone B 4 rack FF

• Release mode (field FRGMGTMOD)

This field is used to select the location release method.
The release method is only used with the dynamic put-away method. It is used to specify if a location can be immediately re-used after the issue of all of its stock:

• - Immediate release. The location is immediately available for a new stock receipt.
• - Delayed release. The location changes to a free status, but it is not used for stock receipt until after a certain time given by the Delay duration.
• - Blocked status. The location changes to blocked status after its release. It is necessary to manually unblock it before reusing it.

• Time delay (field TEMLTI)

If the management of location release is delayed, it is necessary to specify in this field the number of hours during which the location will be unavailable following its release.

This delay is strongly advised, in order to avoid disrupting the good functioning of the warehouse. In effect, a location that is not delayed is freed after the entry on the computer of an issue. If the physical movement has not yet taken place, the location

will be re-allocated with the next receipt even though it is not yet available. This risks to create unpleasant surprises for the storeroom operatives that are trying to place a new pallet in the store!

The delay is also used to protect the system against entry errors (cancellation of receipts or issues).

• field HOU

• Maximum weight (field MAXAUZWEI)

Maximum authorized weight

This field is not associated with any application process: It can be entered for information purposes on 6 integers + 1 decimal.

• Width (field WID)

Location dimensions
This field is not associated with any application processing: It can be entered for information purposes on 4 numerical characters.

• Height (field HEI)

• Depth (field DTH)

• Unit (field PCU)

The units grid is used to impose the storage in a given packing unit for the location type. The units number is used to manage the location occupancy in the dynamic put-away mode.
The location type is used to store the packing units number entered in the movement, depending on the authorized description in the grid.

• Description (field UOMSHO)

• Maximum capacity (field MAXQTYPCU)

The units grid is used to impose the storage in a given packing unit for the location type. The units number is used to manage the location occupancy in the dynamic put-away mode.
