Algorithm Assignment Maintenance
Use Algorithm Assignment Maintenance (4.6.9) to link a specified sequence of algorithms (of one type per sequence) to a defined combination transaction type, site, warehouse, item number, or address.
Field Definitions
Transaction Type
This field is used to specify the transaction type.
Maintain transaction types using Transaction Type Maintenance.
You specify the transaction type to link to an internal routing in Internal Routing Assignment Maintenance. You specify the transaction type to link to a sequence of algorithms in Algorithm Assignment Maintenance.
You also specify the transaction type when using the Algorithm Simulation Menu. These options simulate either location-find and put-away, or picking. The system simulates the running of the algorithms that you have assigned to the specified transaction type and displays the results of the simulated put-away or picking.
Warehouse Item Type
If you want to assign a sequence of algorithms to a combination of transaction type and warehouse item type, enter the item type code here. If you leave this field blank, the assignment will be valid for all item types.
The warehouse item type codes are a way of grouping together items that have similar properties. You assign the codes to items using the any of the warehouse item Maintenance functions.
