Enter Pallet Arrival Location
Explanation
Several receive cases require that an arrival location be entered
for the current site when you enter the arrival. Pallet-handled parts need their own
locations. For example, if pallet-handled parts are arrival reported into an arrival
location, the parts are handled individually. They need to be arrival reported into a
pallet arrival location. Locations are entered in
Inventory
Locations window.

Procedure
- Open the
Inventory Locations window and select
New.
- In the Site field, either enter the proper site or query for it.
- Select New.
- Enter a location number in the Location No column. The location
number can be considered as the short code for the inventory location.
- Enter the name of the warehouse. If your warehouse contains bay,
row, tier, and bin numbers, specify these as well.
- Enter the location name and location group in the corresponding
columns. This information can be changed at a later time.
- Optionally, a priority can be specified for pallet locations. The
system uses the priority information to find a vacant pallet location. The system
automatically enters the information in the Location Sequence column and then uses the
priority information as a barcode ID for the inventory location.
- Save when completed.
