Field help (SLOMES)

Used to define the method to calculate the fill rate of a location.
- No: there is no calculation rule, which means that the available space in the location is never calculated. This value is assigned by the system for a storage type without control of the location fill rate (for instance, location with an unlimited capacity).

- In reference containers: the available space is calculated with respect to the maximum number of reference containers for the location. This calculation thus incorporates the matching of the containers defined for the store, based on the containers already present on the location.

For instance: multi-container location with a capacity equal to 20 P1 pallets. Matching rule for containers, 2 P2 = 3 P1. Input of 4 P1 pallets + 2 P2 pallets. The occupancy rate of the location will be equal to 7/20.

- In number of containers: the occupancy is calculated with respect to the number of containers present on the location, even if they are different containers. This option can be useful to define 'junk' locations.

If we consider the same example as previously, the occupancy rate will be 6/20.

- In reference containers on the ground: this parameter is used for the so-called "mass" locations; the number of containers on the ground matches the maxi number of containers of the location. Depending on the incoming product, the maximum capacity of the location is calculated by taking into account the number of containers on the ground, the stacking height and the correction defined for the incoming product container (concept of pallet straddling the last level).

For instance: on the ground capacity, 10; stacking coeff. = 5 (non stackable product =1 ) ; stacking correction = 2. The maximum capacity is equal to (10 * 5) - 2 = 48 pallets of this product.
