Business Benefits

Separation Codes are use to group products by certain criteria. Goods may have characteristics that require them to be segregated in a particular area. For example, hazardous goods, or odor emitting goods, or temperature sensitive goods.

A Separation Preference Profile is a list of Separation codes that are in preferential order or sequence in which they will be assigned or used. Each Client/Product that requires "Active Putaway" or "Verified Passive Putaway" will be assigned a Separation Code Preference Profile.

Example Separation Preference Profile: Paper

In the above example, if a Paper product is being received then the system will attempt to find an available "Paper" putaway location. If no "Paper" locations are available then it will look for an available "Metal" location, etc.

Note: Separation is not the only consideration for "best" location. Other preferences include popularity, storage zone and type.

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see SL - Stock Locator.

Usage

Use this program to identify separation codes and preference profiles.

At least one separation code must be created. Separation Code Preference Profiles need to be defined if Verified Passive Putaway (VPP) or Active Putaway (AP) functionality will be used.

Preconditions

Determine the Separation Codes in your operation. If VPP or AP is required then determine which separation codes may be used per Client/Product and arrange them in preferential sequence.

Typically the following programs are run before Separation Codes and Profiles are defined.

WP.11 [Warehouses]
SL.87 [Zones]
SL.78 [Storage Types / Type Profiles]
SL.81 [Storage Dimensions]
SL.80 [Popularity Codes and Profiles]

Subsequent Actions
