      <Paragraph>When a warehouse uses locations, dock locations can be
		used.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>In ERP Enterprise,
		  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/whwmd2500m000" role="session">Warehouses (whwmd2500m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
