Note If you have started this session by zooming, you can only find and select a record. Performance aspects A limited number of staging and dock locations may affect system performance.

Fields | Description
Warehouse | The code of the warehouse where the location is situated.
Location | The code that identifies an inventory location within a warehouse. For each warehouse, you can define many locations.
Search Key | An alternative form of a description used for convenience during searching. Typically, it is an abbreviation, an acronym, or a mnemonic alternative to a full description.
Storage Zone | The code of the zone to which the location belongs.
Location Type | The location type. Location Type Related topics Using locations
Fixed Location | If this check box is selected, the location is a fixed location for one or more items in the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session. With inbound advice, fixed locations have a higher priority than those that are not fixed.
Location Occupied | If this check box is selected, the location contains one or more items. If this check box is cleared, the location is unoccupied. ERP LN updates this field. As a result, you receive a quick insight into which locations are still unoccupied. If ERP LN generates inbound advice and you have selected the Use Only Unoccupied Locations when Generating Inbound Advice check box in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session, the value of this check box is taken into account.
Inbound Priority | The inbound priority number for the location. You can use this number when generating inbound advice. The highest allowed priority is 0 and the lowest allowed priority is 999999. When generating inbound advice, ERP LN first checks whether any fixed locations are available where the items can be stored. If so, ERP LN then checks the inbound priority as it was recorded in the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session. With equal priorities, the location code is the decisive factor. If items cannot all be stored in the fixed locations, ERP LN will consider locations that are not fixed but only if the Use Free (Unfixed) Locations when Generating Inbound Advice check box in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session is selected. If more locations are available that are not fixed, these are also handled in sequence of inbound priority. This priority can be recorded with a number by location as well as location by item. The lowest number has the highest priority. If there are many nonfixed locations for the same item, ERP LN will advise by sequence of location code (when priorities are equal). The lower the code, the higher the priority.
Outbound Priority | The location's outbound priority. When generating outbound advice, ERP LN advises the locations in sequence of outbound priority. You can specify a number between 0 and 999999. If the location priorities are equal, the location code is the decisive factor.
Infinite Capacity | You can record data that gives insight into the capacity of each location. If this check box is selected, capacity calculation does not apply to this location. You cannot fill in the total capacity in the next field. ERP LN will not calculate the previously mentioned fields. If this check box is cleared, ERP LN will calculate the previously mentioned fields. Note The total location capacity can be so large that the capacity will never become critical. In such a case, you do not need to maintain the capacity. You can indicate whether ERP LN must monitor capacities through the Infinite Capacity field.
Location Full | If this check box is selected, the location is full. As a result, no more items can be stored in the location.
Commands | Description
Make Capacity Infinite | Starts the Warehouse - Zones (whwmd3510m000) session in which you can view the zones for each warehouse.
Copy Ranges | Starts the Warehouse - Dock Locations (whwmd2120m000) session in which you can view the dock locations for each warehouse.
View Storage Zones | Starts the Warehouse - Location - Capacity (whwmd3101s000) session in which you can view for each location the capacity that is used
Copy Ranges | Starts the Copy Ranges (whwmd3200m000) session in which you can generate a range of locations with the same characteristics.
Make Capacity Infinite | Makes the location infinite. Therefore, the Infinite Capacity check box is selected, which means that the location has an infinite capacity.
