Locations
This screen is used to display/modify/delete a location. Some fields can only be modified if the location is empty: the storage type, the reference container, the product and the assigned depositor for instance.
Note: you can only destroy a location if no stock is associated to it and if it is not identified in a non-archived movement.
Prerequisite
Refer to documentation Implementation
Screen management
The location is selected in the left drop-down list and the system displays its characteristics in the right part of the screen.
Header
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. |
| The store type defines the logistical function of a store:
|
| Select this check box to activate the current record. Disabled records keep their content and setup but cannot be used (by recalling their code) on other records (documents, settings ...), or for mass processes. The authorizations to a given function can prohibit the creation of an active record. In this case, the check box is disabled by default. It can only be modified by an authorized user or through a signature Workflow. |
| Address of the location in the store. |
|
|
| This field is used to keep a second address for each location, to be used systematically during the search for input locations, with a view to obtaining a different filling mode from the address alphanumerical order. The structure of the storage address mirrors that which is set up in the store table. |
|
|
Block number 2
| The storage type defines the management characteristics of a group of locations. These management rules are implemented during an addressing phase on input. |
|
|
| Code representing the depositor. In logistics terms, the concept of depositor makes it possible to process separate flows or traffics within the same site. It covers the notion of order giving customer for the service provisions.
|
| A location can be assigned to a product in the following cases: - If the location has the "Picking" type, it must necessarily be assigned to a product to be activated. - If the location has the "Reserve" type, and the storage type forces said location to be reserved to a product. - If the location has the "Reserve" type, this field mentions the product code specific to the object stored at this address, it the storage type of the location forces said location to be single-product. - If several products are present at the same time in the lcoation or the latter is empty, the field is left blank. A location can only be dedicated to a product if it is reserved to a depositor. |
| The reference container of a location represents the priority container dedicated to the location and in which the occupancy concepts are expressed. The location can accommodate other containers than the planned reference container, by means of the "container matchings".

Tab General
Presentation
A few notes on:
- Blocking: locations of the Picking type which do not have any depositor and assigned items are automatically blocked on input and output (field disabled).
- History: first input/last input/last inventory. These dates are automatically generated by the system. They correspond respectively to the input date of the first stock object to this location, to the input date of the last object to this location, and to the closing date of the last inventory.
- Dimensions: these are the physical dimensions of the location. The system does not take them into account when storing the products. It performs its storage calculations with respect to the reference container.

Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
Block
| The location is blocked on input, it will be ignored by the location search algorithm during the input addressing phase. |
| The location is blocked on output, it will be ignored by the location search algorithm during the output addressing phase. As a matter of fact, the products stored there are not available. |
| Indicates that the "Outsize" stock object is overflowing on the given location and no other stock object can be stored. (See Outsize management for further information). |
Dimensions
| Vertical dimension of an entity. Mandatory. Two digits after the comma |
|
|
| Dimension of an entity along its shortest side (perpendicular to the depth). Mandatory. Two digits after the comma |
|
|
| Dimension of an entity along its longest side (perpendicular to the width). Mandatory. Two digits after the comma |
|
|
| 3-dimensional space occupied by the entity. If it is not entered, it is calculated by the system as the product of the 3 dimensions. |
|
|
Movements validation
| The system requires the entry of a control key upon movement validation if: |
| Value of the control code (alphanumerical code of 6 characters). A check will be performed upon entry of the control code in order to check that it is correct. |
Control of dimensions
| Indicates the dimension control type performed during the stock introduction (on input, transfer/replenishment) into this location:
|
| Maximum weight. |
|
|
Management
| Flag at Storage Type level: it is used to initialize the flag at location level upon entry of a storage type on the location. Flag at location level: it is used to indicate whether the location can be selected by the automatic addressing. This value corresponds to the nominal operation code. |
| Specifies if the location is under inventory. |
Time
| This value (optional) can be used to calculate the time necessary to store an object at the considered address. |
|
|
| This field, where the average location unstocking duration is filed, is used to split the POs if the latter are limited in time. |
|
|
Classes
| The ABC class is characteristic to the location and item container. The ABC class features one of the 5 criteria allowing optimization when putting items away in GEODE. |
| For each location, a priority assignment class is defined. It usually takes into account the caracteristics of the products that will be stored on said location: Lightweight product, heavy product, hazardous material, etc. |
| This parameter mentions one of the assigment classes, for which the sequencing will not be performed for this location. |
Mission management
|
|
|
|
| Specifies if the material type is "Handling". |

Tab Picking
Presentation
Further information on:
- Stock objects: concerning the location single-lot management (parameters set up in the storage type), the lot number is that of the stock objects to be found in the location at a given time.
- The dynamic picking: the PR no. corresponds to the current Picking Rearrangement (PR) for this location and the Status field indicates the current status of the Picking Rearrangement for this location.
- the quantities:
- In stock: this is the quantity in stock on the given location expressed in reference containers. The available quantity includes the pending input and picking replenishment movements.
- Occupancy rate: corresponds to the occupancy percentage of the location (100*stock quantity/max. quantity).
- Input/Replenishment/Output in progress: these are the input, replenishment and output quantities that have been addressed but that are not validated yet.

Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
Stock objects
|
|
Quantities
|
|
|
|
| It is the maximum location capacity expressed in reference container. |
| If the available stock is lower than the replenishment threshold, the system will perform a preventive replenishment if the product output mode specifies it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Management
| Used to specify in which palletization program (or container), the system will express the output movements to be picked from the picking location. Conditions of use: (to express an output movement from a CU picking location in CC1 superior container) Here are a few examples:let us consider a product with the following palletization program: 1PP1= 2CC1= 24cu, 1 CC1= 6BB1= 12cu, 1 BB1= 2 cu Example 1b: uc picking, CC1 and BB1 modulus Example 2: 3 picking: CC1, BB1 and CU |
|
|
| This field is used to display, assign, and modify, a picking priority to a container + product pair. The assigned locations are sorted by priority (numerical field). The smallest number corresponds to the highest priority. |
Reorder
| This parameter induces the operation of the picking replenishment algorithm. Replenishments of this location will be carried out from locations having the selected type: picking or reserve. |
| In case of picking replenishments, this field informs the system from which level of containers the replenishment will have to be carried out. |
Dynamic Picking
| Stipulates if the handled picking location is temporary or permanent. The concept of temporary picking is used in the dynamic picking module in order to determine whether or not the the stock of the former picking location of a product container needs to be transferred to the new picking location. The stock transfer takes place if the new picking location is permanent. |
