Location Selection | |
Locations with Inventory | When this pick location assignment is used, the system initially
tries to find the optimal location to pick inventory based on the
parameters you define below. When allocating the inventory for zones that have split constraints defined at either the PLA rule level or the zone level, the Sterling Warehouse Management System does not consider any existing pend in quantities. |
Select locations having inventory from the following zones | You must specify the zones that you want to pick from when
this pick location assignment is used. Choose |
and having inventory in one of the following status | Specify the inventory status that you
want to pick from when
this pick location assignment is used. Choose |

Dedicated Locations | If there is still a pick demand after the locations with inventory algorithm is performed, the system searches for locations dedicated for the inventory. |
For the remaining demand, select dedicated location(s) from the zones listed above. | Select this if you want to perform
pick using the above parameters
for any pick demand that was not fulfilled from dedicated locations
in zones that you have specified for locations with inventory. By
selecting this field, the system uses replenishment strategy to ensure
that the dedicated location always has inventory to pick. The Sterling Warehouse Management System does not replenish the zones that have split constraints, although replenishment strategies are configured. |
Replenish when inventory goes below minimum quantity for dedicated items | This field
is enabled when the Dedicated Locations
are configured. Select this checkbox to replenish the inventory when it goes below the minimum quantity for the dedicated items. |
Replenish the locations up to max quantity for dedicated items | This field is enabled
when the Dedicated Locations
are configured. Select this checkbox to replenish the locations up to the maximum quantity for the dedicated items. |
Cross Dock Locations | For any remaining pick demand, you can define the inbound shipment status levels from which items can be cross-docked. Cross-docking allows you to retrieve inventory directly from receiving staging locations and bring the inventory to a dynamically slotted location for picking. |
For the demand left over from the previous steps, explore cross-docking opportunity. Search for inbound shipments that are in following status | You can specify the inbound shipment statuses that you want
to search for inventory. The system searches for inbound shipments
in the specified statuses. Once the shipment is received the system
diverts the inventory to the dynamically slotted location. Choose |
Split Constraint | |
The system allows the user to
break open an LPN for all zones specified in the PLA based on the
option specified. If split constraints are defined at the zone and PLA rule levels, the system chooses the most restrictive constraint to ensure that constraints defined are not violated. |
|
Splitting is allowed for: | |
Pallets and Cases | Choose this if you want to allow users to break open both pallets and cases. |
Pallets but not Cases | Choose this if you want to allow users to break open only pallets. |
Neither Pallets nor Cases | Choose this if you do not want to allow users to break open pallets or cases. |
Task Creation | |
