| # Function: Warehouse layout management In this function, the warehouse layout rules and structures are managed, which includes the maintenance of zones and locations, storage rules, and conditions, as well as the blocking and unblocking of zones/locations for various reasons. Process: Maintain warehouse layout, advanced (code: MIM05a) The objective of this process is to control all activities that concern the layout of the warehouse on a day-to-day basis. This process controls the maintenance of locations in the warehouse, special conditions that can apply to these locations, and conditions that apply to items stored in these warehouse locations. This process also handles blocking and unblocking of warehouse locations/zones to react to particular ad-hoc or planned-in-the-warehouse activities, for example, maintenance activities in a part of the warehouse or reorganization of rows, racks, and bins. Assumptions: This function is only applicable in an advanced warehouse environment, where a location system is in place. If the warehouse is basic, in other words, without locations, then this function is not to be used at all. IT support: LN Warehouse Management |
