| # Warehouse - Location - Capacity (whwmd3101s000) Use this session to define, view, or change the location-capacity data. This session is used to set the finite capacity data for a location. After you set the capacity data, the Infinite Capacity field is cleared. Note To work with capacity data, you must accurately enter the item's dimensions and weight in the following sessions: Item - General (tcibd0101s000) Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) Item - Package Definition - Packaging Level (whwmd4140s000) Warehouse The code of the warehouse where the location is situated. Location The code of an inventory location within a warehouse. Weight If this check box is selected, weight capacity data will be calculated for this location. Enter the Maximum field. LN will also check the location's weight capacity when generating inbound advice. LN will calculate the following data: Available Expected Increase Expected Decrease If this check box is cleared, the weight capacity calculation does not apply to this location. You cannot enter a maximum weight, and LN will not calculate the weight capacity data. Capacity If this check box is selected, capacity data will be calculated for this location. Enter the total capacity. LN will calculate the following data: Available capacity Expected increase in capacity Expected decrease in capacity. If this check box is cleared, the capacity calculation does not apply to this location. You cannot enter a maximum capacity, and LN will not calculate the capacity data. Maximum The location's maximum weight capacity. This maximum is expressed in the location weight unit of measure defined in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. Default value If the Weight check box is selected for the location, this field is automatically filled with a 0. Maximum The unit of measure in which weight is expressed. This unit is used throughout Warehouse Management to handle the location capacity in terms of weight and item weight. For example: Maximum weight Available weight Total The total capacity of the location expressed in the capacity unit. If the Infinite Capacity check box for the location is selected, this field will automatically be filled with a 0. Total The unit in which the location's capacity is registered. This unit will usually relate to the physical quantity area, volume, or weight. If the location's capacity unit is not equal to the inventory unit of the items stored at that location, it must be defined as an alternative unit for the item in the Conversion Factors (tcibd0103m000) session. As a result, you can convert the item's inventory unit to the capacity unit. Available The available weight capacity, calculated as follows:
    available weight = total weight capacity - weight occupation
Available The available capacity within the location, calculated as follows:
    available capacity = total capacity - actual occupation
Note The current field is updated by LN and cannot be changed. The available capacity is expressed in the capacity unit. Volume If this check box is selected, LN will check the volume capacity. To check the volume capacity, LN calculates the following volume data: Available Expected Increase Expected Decrease If this check box is cleared, volume capacity calculation does not apply for this location. LN will not calculate the volume data. Note The total location volume capacity can be so large that the volume capacity will never become critical. In such a case, you do not need to maintain the volume capacity. Width The width of the location expressed in the location unit of length. This unit is defined in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. Width The unit of measure in which length is expressed. This unit is used throughout Warehouse Management for locations. The unit is also used to handle the location capacity in terms of width, depth, and height. Note The Physical Quantity of the location length unit of measure should be of type Length. Floor Space If this check box is selected, LN will check the floor space. To check the floor space, LN calculates the following floor-space data: Available Expected Increase Expected Decrease If this check box is cleared, floor-space capacity calculation does not apply for this location. LN will not calculate the floor-space data. Note The total location floor-space capacity can be so large that the floor-space capacity will never become critical. In such a case, it is not necessary to maintain the floor-space capacity. Depth The depth of the location expressed in the location unit of length. This unit is defined in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. Height The height of the location expressed in the location unit of length. This unit is defined in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. Total The total volume capacity of a location expressed in the location length unit of measure. The value of this field is calculated by multiplying the values of the following fields: Width Depth Height Total The location's total floor-space capacity expressed in the location length-unit of measure. The value of this field is calculated by multiplying the value of the Width field and the Depth field. Available The available volume in the location.
    available volume = total volume capacity - actual volume occupation
Note This field is updated by LN and cannot be changed. The available volume is expressed in the location length unit of measure defined in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. Available The available floor space in the location.
    available floor space = floor space capacity - floor space occupation
Note This field is updated by LN and cannot be changed. The available floor space is expressed in the location length unit of measure defined in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. Expected Increase The part of the location's weight capacity that will be used according to the inbound advice. When producing inbound advice in the Generate Inbound Advice (whinh3201m000) session, LN recommends the locations at which you can store incoming items. When inbound advice assigns a location, LN updates this field. Note If the Weight check box is selected, this field is updated. Expected Increase The location's expected increase in occupation capacity according to the inbound advice. If producing inbound advice in the Generate Inbound Advice (whinh3201m000) session, LN recommends locations at which you can store incoming items. When inbound advice assigns items to a location, LN updates this field. Note If the Infinite Capacity check box is cleared, this field is updated. Expected Decrease The weight capacity that will become available according to the outbound advice for sales and production. While generating outbound advice in the Process Outbound Advice (whinh4200m000) session, LN determines the locations from which you can retrieve the items to be issued to production and sales. Note If the Weight check box is selected, this field is updated. Expected Decrease The expected decrease in the occupation of the location's capacity according to the outbound advice. When generating outbound advice, LN determines the locations from which the items are to be issued for production and sales. Outbound is generated automatically in the Process Outbound Advice (whinh4200m000) session. Note If the Infinite Capacity check box is cleared, this field is updated. Expected Increase That location's volume capacity that will be used according to inbound advice. When producing inbound advice in the Generate Inbound Advice (whinh3201m000) session, LN recommends the locations at which you can store incoming items. If inbound advice assigns a location, LN updates this field. Note If the Volume check box is selected, this field will be updated. Expected Increase The part of the location's floor-space capacity that will be used according to the inbound advice. When producing inbound advice in the Generate Inbound Advice (whinh3201m000) session, LN recommends the locations at which you can store incoming items. If inbound advice assigns a location, LN updates this field. Note If the Floor Space check box is selected, this field will be updated. Expected Decrease The volume capacity that will become available according to the outbound advice for sales and production. While generating outbound advice in the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session, LN determines the locations from which the items for production and sales will be issued. Note If the Volume check box is selected, this field will be updated. Expected Decrease The floor-space capacity that will become available according to the outbound advice for sales and production. While generating outbound advice in the Process Outbound Advice (whinh4200m000) session, LN determines the locations from which the items for production and sales will be issued. Note If the Floor Space check box is selected, this field will be updated. Warning when Exceeding Capacity at The maximum allowed capacity-occupation percentage. This percentage is used: When an inbound advice is generated. In this case, LN does not advice more to the location if the maximum capacity-occupation percentage is reached. You manually create an inbound advice. In this case, a warning is displayed if the maximum capacity-occupation percentage is exceeded. However, if the Block when Exceeding Capacity check box is cleared, you can advise the more than the maximum capacity-occupation percentage to the location. LN calculates the capacity occupation percentage as follows: Capacity occupation = (Total capacity - Available capacity) / Total capacity x 100 Block when Exceeding Capacity If this check box is selected, no inbound advice is given for the location when the calculated available capacity is negative. If this check box is cleared, you can put more items in this location than is possible according to the capacity data. Therefore, an inbound advice is given for the location even if the calculated capacity is negative. If the Infinite Capacity check box in the Warehouse - Location (whwmd3100s000) session is selected, the current check box is not available. Recalculate Recalculates the location's available capacity. Note: You can also recalculate the location's available capacity using the Recalculate Occupation of Location (whwmd3201m000) session. |
