Inbound Set-Ups (Continued)
1. Purpose
Configure the system to support blast or quick-freezing of inbound stock—defining the necessary storage zones, holds, rate codes, and billing profiles so that temperature-controlled items flow correctly through the warehouse and billing processes.
2. Legend & Roles
| Symbol / Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟢 Green oval | Page Connector / Continuation |
| 🔷 Diamond | Decision |
| 🟨 Yellow rectangle | Setup (Mandatory) |
| 🔴 Red oval | Page Connector / Next |
3. Step-by-Step Process
Page Connector “2” 🟢
Continues from the general Inbounds Set-Ups workflow.
Decision: Is Blast/Quick Freezing Required? 🔷
Evaluate whether any inbound product lines need rapid freezing upon receipt.
A. If No →
- Skip all freezing setups and proceed directly to (next inbound process).
B. If Yes →
SL.86: Define Storage Zone Code(s) for Blast/Quick Freezing 🟨
- Create one or more “Freezing Zones” in the system (e.g.
FZ1,BlastFreeze) to represent physical blast tunnels or quick-freeze bays.
SL.90: Assign Blast/Quick Freezing Storage Zone(s) to Locations 🟨
- Map each defined Freezing Zone code to the specific warehouse locations (aisles, racks, freezer docks) where the rapid-freeze equipment resides.
CR.22: Define Blast/Quick Freezing Rate Break Code 🟨
- Establish a billing rate break code (unit type “R” for recorded temperature) that will apply whenever stock is processed through these freezing zones.
CR.57: Create a Physical Hold Code for Freezing 🟨
- Configure a “Freezing Hold” that can be applied to inbound lots—preventing put-away or picking until the freeze step is complete.
CR.63: Select Receipt Temperature-Blasting Option in Billing Profile 🟨
In the client’s billing profile, enable the “Temperature Blast” option and link:
- The freezing rate break code (from CR.22)
- The physical hold code (from CR.57)
- Any required temperature thresholds or parameters

- All freezing-related setups are done; continue on to the next inbound process page.
4. Outputs & Artifacts
Freezing Zone Master Data (SL.86)
Location-to-Zone Assignments (SL.90)
Freezing Rate Break Code (CR.22)
Freezing Hold Code (CR.57)
Billing Profile Configuration (CR.63)
5. Notes & Best Practices
Sequence Matters: Always define zones (SL.86) before assigning them to locations (SL.90).
Consistent Coding: Use a clear naming convention (e.g. prefix FZ_) for all freezing-related master data.
Audit Holds: The physical hold (CR.57) ensures no stock skips the freeze step—validate hold release logic downstream.
Test Billing Profiles: After CR.63, run a test receipt through a sandbox client to confirm the freeze rate and hold behavior trigger correctly.
Modular Design: This page connector hands off to “3,” keeping configuration distinct from live receiving processes.
