Business Benefits

A Zone is an "Arbitrary group of storage locations that have been assigned to some purpose". A Zone may be used for Storage (e.g., Handling, Moving,
Storing or Product) or Work (e.g., assembly area, loading bay, etc.).

A Zone Preference Profile is a list of Zones that is in preferential order or sequence in which they will be assigned or used by the Verified Passive Putaway or Active Putaway functionality. Each Client/Product that requires the "Verified Passive Putaway" or "Active Putaway" functionality will be assigned a Zone Preference Profile and the system will attempt to select a location using the most preferred zone available.

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

Usage

Use this program to define storage/work zone codes and preference profiles.

At least one storage zone must be created. Storage Zone Preferences need to be defined if Verified Passive Putaway (VPP) or Active Putaway (AP) functionality will be used.
