	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>When a warehouse uses locations, dock locations can be used.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>In SSA ERP, two types of dock locations exist:</ListIntro>
			<ListItemHead>Staging</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>A staging location, or staging lane, is an area near a shipping dock where material is gathered and consolidated before shipment.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Receiving</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>A receiving dock location is an area near a receiving dock where received material is placed before being put away. With the help of inbound advice, the items from this location are assigned to inventory locations.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>If a warehouse uses locations, at least one receiving location and one staging location must be set up.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Dock locations are created in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2120m000" role="session">Warehouse - Dock Locations (whwmd2120m000)</GUIRef> session. The first receiving dock location and inspection location are created in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2100s000" role="session">Warehouse (whwmd2100s000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
