Configure a Zone Check Digit

The zone codes, which are used in a warehouse to identify a particular zone, are usually long, and contain alphanumeric strings. Long strings such as these are not recommended in voice-based systems because the chances of an error occurring are high. In order to avoid such errors, a shorter version of the code, known as a check digit, is used. Check digits are usually 2-5 digits long, easy to read, and are used to identify a given zone.

Note: For more information about check digits, refer to the VLP Bookshelf Guide.

Perform the following steps to configure a location check digit:

Procedure

  1. Launch the Applications Manager. From the menu bar, navigate to Applications > Warehouse Management.
  2. From the tree in the application rules side panel, click More or double-click Warehouse Layout.
  3. The tree is expanded. Double-click Zones.
  4. The Zones window is displayed. Click Create New.
  5. The Zone Details window is displayed. Enter a check digit for the zone in the Check Digit field. Enter information in the applicable fields, and click Save. For field value descriptions, refer to the Using the Applications Manager.
    Note: When configuring a zone check digit, do not enter the value 00 because it is treated as a dummy value.
    Note: Out-of-the-box, the grammar file supports only numeric responses for location check digits. The grammar file can be customized to support alphanumeric values. If you want to do so, contact Sterling Customer Support.
