General Data

The General Data frame contains fields that relate to overall operation of the warehouse.

Enter an optional text description of the warehouse.

Enter the code for the address of the warehouse. Set up addresses for the company using Company Address Maintenance (2.12). This field is for information only.

Enter Yes to make this an active warehouse using all the functions. If you enter No, the warehouse is inactive and does not use the functions.

Enter a code for the format and sequence for reference numbers used to identify items such as pallets. The sequence definition format codes are set up using Sequence Definition Maintenance (4.23.1).

Enter a code for the format and sequence for packaging units, such as boxes or eaches. The sequence definition format codes are set up using Sequence Definition Maintenance (4.23.1).

Enter the code to define the style and format of Radio Frequency screens to be used for displaying information. The Flavor codes are set up in Generalized Code Maintenance (36.2.13), and relate to display of information in situations such as forklift truck screens or Radio Data Terminals (RDTs).

This field controls the synchronization of warehouse, location, and Inventory account records. The options are as follows:

See Inventory Account Synchronization for a more detailed explanation.

Indicate whether a single location in this warehouse can contain inventory with a mixture of different status codes. Enter Yes to allow mixed status codes; otherwise, enter No. This setting defaults to storage location groups within this warehouse.

Enter the tolerance percentage to be used when determining whether a location containing reference stock, such as pallets, is full.

Example: If your standard pallet can hold 100 items, and you set the tolerance percentage to 5%, a location containing a pallet with 95 items is considered full, while one with 94 items is not.

This value defaults to the storage location groups you set up within this warehouse.

Indicate if the Logistic UM must be used when an item is received in a UM other than this base UM. For instance, if the logistic UM of an item is pl (pallet), the item is received in bx (box), and the base UM is ea (each), the system generates pallet numbers only if Log w/Base UM Only is set to No. If set to Yes, no reference is generated.
