Enter Pallet Inspection Location

Explanation

Receive cases that demand inspection require that an inspection location, named quality assurance in the system, is entered for the current site. 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 and inspected in a pallet quality location. Locations are entered in Inventory Locations window.

Prerequisites

• The system parameter for pallet handling in Parameters for Distribution and Manufacturing window must be set to 'Yes' before you can enter pallet locations.
• A proper location group must have been entered.

System Effects

A pallet quality location that belongs to an appropriate location group is created.

Procedure

1. Open the Inventory Locations window and select New.
2. In the Site field, either enter the proper site or query for it.
3. Select New.
4. Enter a location number in the Location No column. The location number can be considered as the short code for the inventory location.
5. Enter the name of the warehouse. If your warehouse contains bay, row, tier, and bin numbers, specify these as well.
6. Enter the location name and location group in the corresponding columns. This information can be changed at a later time.
