The Sterling Warehouse Management System uses
an algorithm
to select the best storage or putaway preference for an activity from
a list of preferences.
To select the best storage
preference for an activity, the Sterling Warehouse Management System:
- Determines if the inventory type is Single
SKU, Multi
SKU, or Unknown SKU.
If the inventory type is Single SKU, the system
determines the corresponding UOM and item classification.
- Determines the values of product class, inventory
status, segment, or segment type for the inventory to match with the
values configured in the storage preferences.
- Sorts
the matched values in the following order:
- Enterprise Code
- LPN
Type
- UOM
- Product Class
- Inventory Status
- Segment
Type
- Segment
- Item Classification
1
- Item Classification 2
- Item
Classification 3
The best matched storage preference is used for
the activity.
