Location - Caution
With only eight positions available in the Location field, you are limited on how you can define warehouse location addresses. For example, many warehouses define locations by:
Aisle = AA
Level = L3
Bay = B3
However, in a selective rack space, there is enough room for two pallets in a typical bay. In this situation, the preference would be to add a fourth data element representing the bay position, 1 or 2. With only eight character positions, you are not able to add more characters to the XX-YY-ZZ format. You need to be creative when defining detailed locations.
Did You Know
There are only eight characters allowed in the Location field to name the location.
Location address impacts the picking sequence because the system defaults the picking algorithm on the location.
