Container Equivalence
This function is used to define equivalences for the containers used in the location search process on input.
These container equivalence rules make it possible to find a location when:
- The search for an available location for the input container(s) has not succeeded.
- The entry mode associated with theproduct, as well as the storage type associated with the location, authorize the use of the equivalences.
The container equivalences only work in one direction and are examined, for a given container, in number order. They can be set up for a same level.
This order can be modified with a mere re-numbering of the proposed rules, but this implies the deletion and the re-entry of the information since the key is the equivalence number.
it is impossible to create a container equivalence for 'Unit' containers (container representing the SU for the products managed with SUs).
Prerequisite
Refer to documentation Implementation
Screen management
To create a container equivalence, a store has to be entered first. Then, an equivalence entry grid is displayed.
Entry screen
Presentation
In this screen, the container equivalences are defined.
For example: A location defined with 1 PP1, pallet 80*120 (location reference container). A PP2 product container, 1/2 pallet: 2 1/2 pallets can be entered in the location => equivalence rules: 2PP2=1PP1

Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
Block number 1
| Code used to identify the store. This code is controlled in the store table. |
Grid Correspondences
| Number making it possible to use the rules defined in this screen by order of priority. |
| Number of original reference containers being part of the matching rule. |
| Container of the movement or stock object to which a matching needs to be assigned. |
|
|
| Number of destination reference containers being a part of the matching rule. |
| Reference container of the location for which the matching is specified. |

The order number MUST be entered.
Number error, Compulsory field.
The number MUST be entered.
Container error, Compulsory field.
The container MUST be entered.
Container error, Compulsory field.

Container error, Record does not exist.
An attempt has been made to enter a non-existent container.
Equivalent error, Equivalence between 2 identical containers.
An attempt has been made to enter 2 identical containers for a same rule.
Equivalent error, Equivalence between 2 identical containers.
An attempt has been made to enter an equivalence rule with containers that have different levels.
Same container pair as line N.
The same equivalence rule has been entered on two different lines in the grid.
