Defining Lane Groups
A lane group is a collection of shipping lanes. You define lane groups in Lane Group Maintenance (4.15.1.5). You must define the shipping lane first in Warehouse Location Maintenance (4.3.13), then in Lane Maintenance (4.15.1.1). You must have at least one lane group defined. Specify a lane group that you define here in the Lane Group field in Wave Planning Control (4.15.1.24).
When you create a new lane group, you can base it on an existing one; the system prompts you to copy another lane group.
You can group several shipping lanes together to serve other purposes; for example, you may have several shipping lanes that you use for one item type and other shipping lanes that you use for a different item type. You can group the shipping lanes based on the item type.
Use
Lane Group Assignment (4.15.1.13) to link a warehouse item type to a shipping lane group. Specify lane load algorithms in
Wave Planning Control (4.15.1.24).
