Warehouse Layout Maintenance (WH10)

The Warehouse Layout Maintenance (WH10) program is used to maintain the bins located in your warehouse.

• If your Operator ID is assigned a multi-bin warehouse as the default in Maintain Operator Password/Privilege (CC03) program, then WH10 automatically opens to your default warehouse. If your Operator ID is not assigned a multi-bin warehouse as the default in CC03, then the Warehouse Selection window opens initially allowing you to select a warehouse. For more information on Operator defaults in CC03, click here.

• You can select an alternate warehouse on the Warehouse Selection window. Note: Only warehouses configured as Multi-Bin through the Company Control Initialization (CC00/Multi-Bin Warehouse Control) program can be accessed by WH10. If you select a warehouse that is not setup as a multi-bin wareshoue in CC00, the following message displays: "Warehouse XX is not defined as a multi-bin warehouse in the CC00/WH folder. OK/Cancel". Select OK to close the message and select a different warehouse or select Cancel to close the message and WH10. For more information about the Multi-Bin Warehouse Control in CC00, click here.

  Note: Once WH10 is open, you can select an alternate warehouse through the Options menu.

The following list defines every field on WH10:

• Bin/Loc - enter or select from the query a Bin Location code. You can enter up to eight characters in this field.
  • Each Bin/Loc you create identifies an area where a product can be found in your warehouse. The 'General receiving Bin/Loc' and 'Credit Notes Rec Bin/Loc' bin location codes are automatically created when a warehouse is configured in CC00/Multi-Bin Warehouse Control. These two records are automatically assigned an 'Order of Picking' of '00' and the 'Bin/Loc Type' of 'Receiving Area' in WH10.

    Note: If you have setup a 'Bin/Loc Coding Structure' in CC00/Multi-Bin Warehouse Control, you have the option to automatically create and modify bins and locations using the Auto Creation and Auto Modify options. However, if the 'Bin/Loc Coding Structure' field is left blank in CC00, these buttons are still enabled but we strongly advise against selecting them as errors can occur if data is entered and updated on the Warehouse Layout Auto Creation/Modification window that opens when either of these buttons are clicked.

• Order of Picking - enter two digits in this field to indicate the order of picking for the current Bin/Loc. The Order of Picking determines where stock is first picked from. When the Schedule Orders for Printing (OE32) program is executed, the Order of Picking is examined and the bin/location that the product should be picked from is determined. The bin/locations are then printed on the Shipping documents.
  • If the first picking choice is the receiving area, the receiving Bin/Loc(s) should be given an order of 00. Lower numbers appear first in the Order of Picking, i.e., a Bin/Loc with an Order of Picking equal to 10 would be selected before one equal to 20. Note: 00 is only valid if the Bin/Loc selected is defined as a 'Receiving Area' Bin/Loc type.

• Maximum Volume - enter up 999999.99 for the Maximum Volume against the current Bin/Loc. This is an optional field. The unit of measurement is displayed to the right of the Maximum Volume field for reference purposes. The unit of measurement is maintained in the 'Measuring Units' field of the Maintain Sales Office/Warehouse Number (CC96) program.
  • The following programs use the Maximum Volume versus the incoming volume from the GTIN record flagged as the 'SKU Default' in Maintain Inventory Master (IM13/Pack Info) to suggest a bin location to receive stock for a specific product:
    • Enter Receipts/In-Transits (PO60) - receiving inventory on the 'Receive Lot and Serial Numbers' window.
    • Receive In-Transit to Stock (PO63) - receiving inventory on the 'Receive Lot and Serial Numbers' panel.
    • Whse Relocate Stock (WH30) - relocating inventory.
    • Enter Inventory Adjustments (IC50) - receiving inventory on the Receipts folder.
    • Enter Inventory Adjustments (IC50) - adjusting inventory on the Quantity folder.

  • Note: This process only applies for bins where the product is already stocked.

  • When receiving is made to specific Bin/Locs or during the relocation process, the Bin/Locs in use for the product are displayed. For each Bin/Loc, the total quantity, volume and weight are calculated and compared to the Maximum Volume/Maximum Weight.

  • The Bin/Locs is suggested as a storing area if any space is available. The calculation can only be accurate if the exact volume and weight are maintained for each product. Since a SKU volume is entered, bulk volume may differ causing some variation in the available space.

  • If the volume and/or weight of a Bin/Loc entered is not sufficient for storing the volume/weight received/adjusted, the operator is warned but may opt to accept the entry anyway.

• Maximum Weight - enter a maximum of 999999.99 for the Maximum Weight against the current Bin/Loc. This field is optional. The unit of measurement is displayed to the right of the Maximum Weight field for reference purposes. The unit of measurement is maintained in the 'Measuring Units' field in CC96.
  • The receiving (via PO60 or PO63) or relocating (via WH30) processes use the Maximum Weight versus the incoming weight from the GTIN record flagged as the 'SKU Default' in IM13/Pack Info to suggest a bin location to receive stock for a specific product. Note: This process only applies for bins where the product is already stocked.

  • When receiving is made to specific Bin/Loc or during the relocation process, the Bin/Locs in use for the product are displayed. For each Bin/Loc, the total quantity, volume and weight are calculated and compared to the Maximum Volume/Maximum Weight.

  • The Bin/Loc is suggested as a storing area if any space is available. The calculation can only be accurate if the exact volume and weight are maintained for each product. Since a SKU volume is entered, bulk volume may differ causing some variation in the available space.

  • If the volume and or weight of a Bin/Loc entered is not sufficient for storing the volume/weight received, the operator is warned but may opt to accept the entry anyway.

• The Bin/Loc Type section allows you to select a Bin Location type for the current Bin/Loc. A Bin/Loc can be assigned to one of the following three Bin/Loc Types:
  • Primary Pick - this option is valid only if the 'Order of Picking' for the current Bin/Loc is '01' or greater.

  • Bulk overstock - this option is valid only if the 'Order of Picking' for the current Bin/Loc is '01' or greater.

  • Receiving Area - this option is valid only if the 'Order of Picking' for the current Bin/Loc is set to '00'.

  Note: If the 'Split Picking from Open Stock and Bulk' option is selected in CC00/Multi-Bin Warehouse Control, then the stock reserved for the Bin/Locs is split between SKUs and cases. Cases are deemed to be the quantity entered in the '# Pcs/Selling Unit' field in IM13. The SKUs are picked from Primary (PRIM) type Bin/Locs, while cases are picked from Bulk/Overstock (BULK) type Bin/Locs. However, when a Receiving Area (RECV) type Bin/Loc is first in the 'Order of Picking', both SKUs and cases are picked from the Receiving Area location until there is no more availability from that Bin/Loc. The picking process then resumes with the normal Primary (PRIM) and Bulk/Overstock (BULK) order of picking.

• If the 'Split Picking from Open Stock and Bulk' option is de-selected in CC00/Multi-Bin Warehouse Control disabled, then the total units are picked from Bin/Locs in Order of Picking sequence.

  Note: Products that are Lot controlled by 'Manufacturer' follow the same Bin/Loc logic as all other products but the picking sequence for these products is controlled by the selection you make in the 'Manufacturer’s Lot Picking Sequence' drop list in CC00/Multi-Bin Warehouse Control.

The following table outlines the functionality of each button on WH10:

Button Label	Icon	Functionality
Submit		Saves the information entered for the current record. Note: If you have modified the 'Order of Picking' field for the current record, the system updates the inventory for all products for the currently selected warehouse and Bin/Loc. A progress bar displays as records are processed. Once the inventory is updated the progress closes and the record is updated.
Delete		Deletes the current Bin/Loc record. If there is any activity for the current bin location, the following message displays: "Activity exists for this Bin/Location – unable to delete. OK". Click OK to close this message. In this case, you cannot delete the current record.
Clear		Clears all of the fields on the Warehouse Layout Maintenance window.
Auto Modify		Warning: This option is for use when you have set up a Bin/Loc Coding Structure in CC00/Multi-Bin Warehouse Control. If you have not defined a Bin/Loc Coding Structure in CC00, then we strongly advise against selecting this option as errors can occur if data is entered and updated on the Warehouse Layout Auto Creation/Modification window. The Auto Modify option allows you to modify the Bin/Locs used to represent your physical warehouse and makes use of the Bin/Loc Coding Structure maintained in the 'Multi-Bin Warehouse Control' folder in CC00. When you click Auto Modify, the 'Warehouse Layout Auto Creation/Modification' window opens. For more details on using this window, click here.
Auto Creation		Warning: This option is for use when you have set up a Bin/Loc Coding Structure in CC00/Multi-Bin Warehouse Control. If you have not set up a Bin/Loc Coding Structure in CC00\Multi-Bin Warehouse Control, then we strongly advise against selecting this option as errors can occur if data is entered and updated on the Warehouse Layout Auto Creation/Modification window. The Auto Create option allows you to create the Bin/Locs used to represent your physical warehouse and makes use of the Bin/Loc Coding Structure maintained in the 'Multi-Bin Warehouse Control' folder of CC00. Note: This program allows you to enter existing bins, however, any changes to the Common Data will not take effect. If you want to change some or all of the common information for individual existing bin locations, use the fields in WH10 or use the Auto Modify functionality to change the Weight and Volume for groups of bins locations. When you click Auto Creation, the 'Warehouse Layout Auto Creation/Modification' window opens. For more details on using this window, click here.
