Field help (LOCTYP1)

Location types are used to codify warehouse locations according to storage characteristics such as their dimensions, authorized statuses and technical constraints.

The location type is automatically loaded from the location type associated with:

• the container (if entered); The location type can be modified if the status of the container is ‘Free’, which means it does not contain any stock lines yet.
• the products by warehouse (if warehouses are managed);
• the product-site.

In all cases, the location type can be modified if its entry is enabled at the level of the entry transaction.

You may only enter a ‘dock’ type location if the entry transaction authorizes receipts on dock.

When warehouses are managed, entry of a location type is only permitted if at least one location is linked to the entered type and warehouse.
