Specifying Locations for User Carts
Use
Warehouse Location Maintenance (4.3.13) to define a location for each user that represents the carts used to temporarily store picked stock until staff move it to the shipping location.
Before you can define a user location:
• Define the user in User Warehouse Data Maintenance (4.11.3.1).
• Optionally, assign the user to a WLG (4.11.3.13).
Important: If you define one user-work location group relationship, you must define all possible relationships between all users and all work location groups.
When staff pick an item and place it on a cart, the stock moves from the picking location to the user location. To reflect stock movement, the system reduces the quantity in the picking location and increases the quantity in the user location. When staff confirm the batch pick, the system:
• Moves the stock from the user location to the shipping location
• Reduces the quantity in the user location
• Increases the quantity in the shipping location
When a batch pick is not confirmed, the system returns stock from the user location back to the stocking location, thereby reducing user location quantities and increasing location quantities. You specify the ID of the picker as the cart location in the Location field in
Warehouse Location Maintenance.
